Alot of micro managing and favoritism among different ethnicities.

Hire people in management who actually KNOWS what they are doing and who cares for their employees.

New leadership yet again. Can't say anything because I do not know nor have I ever met the new CEO.

Pros of working at Boeing

The benefits are good and a cafeteria in every building. People try but it's clear rules, tech, and most people are old-fashioned, management IS white with not many women.

Cons of working at Boeing

Despite transparency being a company value they are anything butt with old-fashioned values. No heads up about anything unless it is within the week, teams change often with little consistency but micro-management even from coworkers is a problem. You can't make simple mistakes like taking a picture, using personal electronics/accounts, or leaving your card/laptop unsecured. It's the worst of the corporate worlds where you make enemies; look over you shoulder all the time just to protect Boeing's assets.

What do you like best about Boeing's CEO and the leadership team?

Watch "The Downfall of Boeing" on Netflix, that tells you all you need to know about the CEO. I don't think highly of any group of people with no people of color and only 1 woman in the C-suite.

How did you prepare for the Boeing interview?

You can't really because questions are skill based and they don't give you a lot to go on but use the STAR method.

How would you improve Boeing's culture?

Be more transparent, hire management with written and verbal communication skills, and have incentives/get-togethers for making connections but don't force it to be part of the job.

How does your compensation at Boeing compare to the industry average?

Low compensation for industry average, the minimum for a big company like this.

What's the diversity at Boeing like?

Not good diversity, especially in leadership but they are programs that bring in more women.

What brings you the most joy at Boeing?

Working at home or going to the office to meet with others is the most fulfilling thing.

Pros of working at Boeing

You learn so much. Teaming is encouraged to create a better outcome. Diversify your interests and you can actually have multiple careers at the same company.

Cons of working at Boeing

The management is basically ok. But there are a lot of lousy managers that never coach you then get mad that you don't know the expectations. It's an old boys club, most women are not appreciated and earn far less than their male coworkers. Bullys abound. Focus on making money, not friends.

Boeing benefits

My pension 401k matching Health insurance Free education Decent pay

What do you like best about Boeing's CEO and the leadership team?

I really know nothing about them.

How would you improve Boeing's culture?

Slow down. Take time to inspect pick ups carefully. Train train train. Get 1st line managers who are more qualified than their team members.

How did you prepare for the Boeing interview?

I was recruited put if college. Just made a resume & hot hired 6 months before my hire date.

How does your compensation at Boeing compare to the industry average?

I'm retired. But I made good money

What's the diversity at Boeing like?

It's not as bad as the early 90s but has a very long way to go. It's mainly white men.

What brings you the most joy at Boeing?

Being appreciated.

Pros of working at Boeing

Longevity

Cons of working at Boeing

Management and not leaders. Performing work that’s not documented and out of sequence. No open conversations with leadership. Implied (evil eye) suggestions.

Boeing benefits

Time off

How would you improve Boeing's culture?

I would improve by suggesting vs forcing. Tighten the training programs to have demonstrations of tougher areas. Understand how to place people. Train the trainers.

How did you prepare for the Boeing interview?

My work background speaks for itself, however I think the placement is wrong.

How does your compensation at Boeing compare to the industry average?

My compensation is underrated for my experience, education. Compensation needs qualified training as well.

What's the diversity at Boeing like?

I think diversity is weak. Not only does the culture needs revamping but the product line and the supply systems need refinement.

What brings you the most joy at Boeing?

Openness and honesty from the last person hired to the CEO and no corporate smoke clouds.

Pros of working at Boeing

Large corporation with huge resources and opportunities. Industry leading pay in certain locations.

Cons of working at Boeing

Bureaucracy and waste hinder goals. Very much an old school structure where nepotism or who you know is king. If you're in the "good ol boys club" it will expedite your career and progression. Management turnover is rampant. Inconsistency in leadership leads to the need to be constantly flexible.

Pros of working at Boeing

The health care plan was unbeatable, I loved the collaborative atmosphere amongst my workplace, I had the best team I could work with and the compensation was more than fair for what I do.

Cons of working at Boeing

Nepotism is rewarded rather than confronted. I did not enjoy the lack of leadership in recent months and the absence of a work life balance.

Pros of working at Boeing

There was great teamwork in my group & since the company is so large, it offers some opportunities that others won't have.

Cons of working at Boeing

When I left, the company culture was becoming toxic. The finance management in my area cared more about how they looked instead of the work being done & the company valued the shareholder & the bottom line significantly over the employees.

Boeing benefits

I don't know that I have a favorite perk. There were several things that were easily available that I know wouldn't be elsewhere, including training, health assistance & cafeterias.

Flexible hours, good pay, good benefits. The hours were on my terms even when it was at a set scheduled time. Every year there were profit sharing increases which were very consistant and raises were always awarded.

Cons of working at Boeing

Too much politics and bureacracy. It was contract work for the government and you had to deal with timelines set by congress and the departments the money was allocated to. Made it very hard to achieve goals

Boeing benefits

The 401k contribution. I was allowed up to and even the max allowed to contribute where the company would match 6% of that value.
