Boeing

• Great salary and benefits.
• Variety of positions, work, and locations, even within the same function if you seek them out.
• Achieve technological marvels as part of a larger team.

• Limited opportunity for advancement.
• Hit or miss with management; I've had great and poor managers. There seems to be little accountability, and this can make a big difference to the overall experience. This is also true for lead engineers.
• Bureaucracy/hierarchy limits the amount of innovation/challenge one can take on.
• Boeing is struggling with its culture between innovation and manufacturing.

Decide whether we are an innovator or a manufacturer, and organize the company around those lines.

Hire/promote leads and managers with people skills who develop and promote their employees, and hold them accountable for team morale.
