Boeing

Boeing can be very flexible and family-friendly, depending on the organization you are with.

The medical coverage, retirement plan, tuition reimbursement, and pension are some of the best reasons to work for Boeing.

You won't likely blaze a career or make above industry average in the IT groups at Boeing unless you have some solid relationships developed with some people in high places.

Boeing is a large corporation with a great amount of girth. First-level management isn't really capable of helping you advance your career. You have to be a shining star and have some solidly built relationships with people who can effect change and are influential.

Make an effort to find talent in the employee pool. Recognize that first-level management may not, or chooses not to, bring forth the talent to senior management's attention.
