I like the people I work with. Change within an aging workforce can be challenging, but I wouldn't work anywhere else

Pros

Awesome education benefits! Zero cost, comprehensive medical/dental insurance. The company wants people to enjoy their work, and if they don't, they try to place them in a position within the company that they will enjoy. My family and I have always felt Boeing has taken very good care of us; we feel secure career-wise.

Cons

There can be a crazy amount of bureaucracy!

There is an aging workforce, so there are many employees (and managers) who are just "camping" until retirement. This makes change difficult, as innovation can feel as if it is discouraged.

However, this will pass, and there will be many opportunities for those who are still there.

Advice to Management

Encourage change to happen.

Require employees to do some sort of professional development every year. Senior employees lack knowledge of current technologies, so they fear it. The result: innovation dies.
