Cosmopolitan workforce, but elitist management and lacking in corporate governance. - Engineer IV Boeing Employee Review

The commercial airplanes division has one of the nastiest corporate cultures of the industry and within Boeing. There is no real sense of teamwork, competition is cut-throat, and work hours are long. The long hours and demands on employees to be available to respond outside of work do not make for much of a life outside the workplace. There is also a very strong bias toward young employees and a high degree of social stratification among the engineers. The worst part of BCAG is its elitist management, which is generally condescending and arrogant toward the employee. There is very poor interaction between the employees and management, except for the intense competition among employees for recognition which is how management stays in control; it is only their power to reward that engenders loyalty. Boeing is generally good for corporate governance, but it has no teeth to it in Everett. Also, the company has installed an RFID system to track employee movements with their badges. This is a management that regards its employees with contempt. Because the management doesn't like to submit to any restraints on its conduct, I can see this division of this company getting into trouble down the road.
