Boeing

This is a larger company, and there are many opportunities if you do not like your current position. Note that this usually requires a move to a different location.

Great benefits, pay, and training opportunities!

There is a lot of competition to contend with, and a large number of highly experienced people are just about ready to retire, but not quite.

Management is made up of a combination of legacy Boeing and legacy McDonnell Douglas. They have chosen a more risky method of putting together the 787 that puts a great deal of control and risk onto parts contractors/vendors.

This takes away from their control and puts much of the cost and risk onto the vendor. This is supposed to be good, but seems to have turned out to be not that good, as the contractors/vendors have not risen to these challenging levels of performance and are not putting FINISHED parts/assemblies on the delivery dock.

This results in rather nasty assembly issues back at the final assembly location and lots of extra costs, as Boeing Management sends engineers to the contractors/vendors to fix the problems.

Quit. Let someone else step in and fix what is broken and you do not seem to be able to fix.
