Boeing

It's very rare to have in Boeing, but the work I had was exciting and challenging. I can say most of my colleagues did not have teams with similar experience.

You'll constantly see your co-workers laid off and wonder how long it'll be until you get the axe. You'll be told promotional opportunities are non-existent. You'll be drastically underpaid. You won't have as much vacation time as your friends (not counting the Christmas week off of course). You'll find that management has a massive complicated structuring with a lot of old school thinking.

I feel you've already decided making the shareholders happy is more worth it than keeping strong employees around. The idea of the temporary employee that you can hire and layoff and get some other employee to replace the spot easily (since so many people are looking for work) is a horrible idea. It will hurt the company's ability to compete over time since the alternative is to hire other third-party companies to do the work for you. Now you have to hire a whole team to work with and integrate with the third-party company, mixing cultures, environment, and work methodologies that will clash. Ultimately, the quality of the end product will be a surprise, and then trying to get this third party to maintain the surprise over the long term will lead to bad effects, such as needing to purchase services from a new third party to actually make a worthwhile product (but again falling to the same problems and ending up with a mystery X product that will probably be on par with the quality of the first product). I feel like in-house engineering is the way to go.
