Boeing

Great benefits, all college tuition costs covered, interesting products, a lot of opportunities, easy to move around, and generally encouraged to have broad experience.

Asked to do work that doesn't relate to job description. Good ol' boys network. Very disorganized. Bureaucratic. Management changes focus a lot. A lot of information withheld from employees. High performers not distinguished from low performers. Pay isn't that great. Company trying to dismantle unions. Office politics is huge in final assembly and delivery. Threat of layoffs.

Make decisions and follow through with them. Don't constantly redirect your employees. Allow managers to exercise more control.
