Boeing reviews

I worked for Boeing for 10 years. I agree with the comment if you are well liked you will advance. If not you will not get any support or training. As an older employee from day one I was disrespected by younger employees and received no training or support from management. I watched more than once as manager talked negatively and disrespected older employees in staff meetings and in our daily task. Once I was given a good performance review and then a month later was told I was a poor employee even though my actions were poorly directed by management every step of the way. The last two years of my employment were among the hardest. I was put on a list of older employees to be fired. Even over heard one manger say that this was being directed to older employees. They even put a job notice out before they let employee go. I was never allowed to advance and their procedures were unorganized. Every contract I was put on was a mess that needed cleaning up. I was yelled at by younger mangers in front of my co-workers constantly. In the end I was brought in a law suit by other employees. They won their age discrimination law suite and one former employee’s condition specifically called out my name. Even though I was not part of the employee suing the company. I will never remind employment with this company.

This is not an environment for the young. It's a cubicle farm of code monkeys. Some teams are filled with really cool people. Otherwise, most engineers here have either been beat down to the point that they lack enthusiasm for the career, or they don't know that there are much better companies out there. You have to jump through loopholes just to get a decent mouse and two monitors. Relocation is a major pain (don't do it unless you literally have no other option). I've gone 45 days without my things so far.
