Used to be one of the best places to work, now it's mediocre at best. - Project Manager Boeing Employee Review

Pros

Work/life balance is good. Weekly workload is manageable most of the time. Pay/benefits aren't industry leading anymore, but they're not 'terrible' either.

Cons

Difficult to get ahead due to lack of promotion opportunities. Pay has become mediocre and everyone's leaving the company for better paying jobs. Business tools and programs are horribly outdated. Most of the time, you'll be working in software programs older than you are. Company culture has gone full "woke" in the last couple of years, openly basing hiring and promotion decisions on gender and the color of your skin. The company tries to hold everyone back at a Level 2 or Level 3 pay code as long as possible, while giving them Level 4 and Level 5 work. No clear vision from management, everything seems chaotic all the time. The company is made up of hundreds of little fiefdoms, each with their own set of overlapping processes and procedures. It's a huge bureaucratic mess and most of the time you're fighting the internal bureaucracy to get the smallest things done.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
