Boeing

If you work to live, then Boeing is a great place to be. Flex time and working from home are all available to employees. Vacation and sick time can be used with little to no advance notice at any time. The benefits package is AWESOME. There is 401k matching and FREE health care . . . great for a family. Free tuition is available for those wanting to get higher education.

Incentives for you to work hard are almost nonexistent. A bad engineer can work there for 20 years, get a parking spot, and make 100k. A great engineer will work there for 20 years, get a parking spot, and make 110k. Promotions are based off time and grade, not how hard you work or your personal performance. Boeing also doesn't do a lot of engineering but systems integration. If you are looking to work with and develop leading technology, Boeing is not for you.

Senior management needs to stop the brain drain at Boeing. Boeing has potential – it's a great company with great products. It's too bad senior management thinks that everybody is replaceable. They need to provide properly aligned incentives with employees in order to inspire their workers to produce. It seems like people go through their day doing only what is expected of them and no more.
