Boeing

You get to work on, around, and with planes and their subsystems, and that is really cool.

Being able to see how everything comes together, and all the work that goes into certifying a plane is awesome.

Boeing is very slow to change. The union attitude allows people to fight change tooth and nail and do as little work as possible without giving a reason for them to be written up. Expect to use technology 10-30 years old at all times (in Flight Test Software). There was no time allocated to any project that was not precisely what my manager wanted done. Management seemed to want a scapegoat more than anything else.

Don't focus on finding someone to blame whenever anything goes wrong; focus on finding the cause of the problem and implementing solutions to those issues.
