Boeing

I can’t think of any except work-life balance, and not even. Boeing expects you to work as a lead for 2 years before they promote you to the level you are working. So, in terms of work-life balance, you are expected to put in 50-60 hours while only working 40.

Morale is at an all-time low for software engineers. Most, if not all, people on my team and other teams are actively training for interviews in order to leave. The compensation is about half of the area's average, so most software engineers under P3 make under $113,000 in San Francisco and along the California coast. They actually gave effective pay cuts this year!

In addition, Boeing recognizes the lazy employees and overachievers the same. They prioritize years of experience and age over talent, performance, and skills.

If you are looking for a job and want minimum compensation, come here. If you want to be paid fairly, don’t come here. If you want to grow your technical skills, don’t come here.

Boeing does everything it can to dumb down its systems so they don’t have to hire software engineers. Truly a horrible place.

Give your employees the power to hire teams. Retain your top talent by paying them fairly. You don’t even have to pay them well, just fair!

Also, keep to your word. If you say something, stick to it. It seems almost all managers say one thing and don’t keep to their word.
