Pros

They hire at true entry-level and will take chances on individuals right out of university.

Ability to flex hours.

Cons

Boeing is desperately trying to pretend that they are the amazing aerospace company they used to be. But this snotty pretense lands hollow, and employees get disillusioned quickly.

They lack innovation and have a fear of modernizing and of change. They become angry and vindictive when anyone tries to use newer technology.

It is like working in a factory, even as an engineer. You feel like you aren’t there to think, but to be mindless.

They care only about shareholders, not their products. This means everything is done cheaply, carelessly, and without passion.

Compensation is not keeping up with the market.

Advice to Management

Management is a product of the environment and has little power. But some managers are far superior to others. If you’re a manager here, you need to be willing to fight for your employees, as the company won’t. A meek manager is the kiss of death for the employee, and they are better off quitting.
