Proud Work, Slow Promotions
Boeing is a large, stable company. I feel proud of the quality of the work we do, and our products are the best in the world.
Boeing is a large bureaucratic company. There is mandatory Ethics Training, Lean+ Initiatives, and rules up the kazoo. I can live with this, but I am getting bitter that it is more common to see the people who do good, quiet work being passed over for promotions while the LeanPlussers are promoted.
Stop pushing technical people into management. Revert the Tech Fellow program back into a way to promote good engineering; it has turned into a feather-in-the-cap for MBAs.
