      Horrible place full of lazy dumb idiots

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to show up to work and do nothing.

      Cons

      Soul sucking place. Management doesn't care about you. Very underpaid. Lifeless work, you don't have to use your brain. All of your coworkers are extremely unqualified and not very smart. Extremely racist hiring practices. They value "diversity", over technical ability, so they hire based on skin color and foreign origins above all other factors. They do not ask technical questions. 100% behavior STAR questions, so they are asking questions like "tell us about a time you had a problem at work" for 6 figure positions. Like I said above, they don't value technical abilities or degrees, so you often see mechanical and electrical engineers hired to perform as software engineers. Mechanical/electrical engineering is embedded in the culture (obviously), so they still prefer these degrees for ALL roles in the company (lol). Promotion is not based on merit, but blindly applying to as many levels above you as you can. The hiring manager for the position you are applying for has 0 insight of your past job performance, and will give you an "equal opportunity" to get promoted as everyone else on the planet (or they may just hire their favorite). Nepotism is rampant. Did I mention racism? Just don't work here. No one is punished for not doing any work, or poor behavior. You can file as many HR complaints as you want against coworkers (sexual harassment, yelling, tantrums etc), and after HR ensures they are protecting the company from lawsuit and they are safe, they will not follow up/reprimand the employee. You will not gain any new skills here. All software is installed in these huge bubbles of firewalls and system restrictions to keep their dumb employees from downloading viruses and trojans. The hiring practices really are the root of all of these problems. Any smart/talent that leaks into this company is quickly evicted by the toxins and general aura of incompetence. Oh, and they have 6 layers of "managers", including level 1 managers that they hire straight out of school. These people don't actually do anything except impede the actual workers and harass them with status requests. I'm sorry, but no 21 year old straight out of school is qualified to be a manager.

      Go4Zero... Employment

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not a lot of intelligent engineers here, so it isn't hard to look like a pro. 100% work/life balance because you can come in and do nothing all day and get away with it. Actually, you don't even have to show up to work and charge for a full day, because your managers are going to be non existent. Benefits are pretty decent, although they are working on removing that perk. They've tripled the healthcare cost recently and are lowering the life insurance coverage. Really hard to come up with more pros....

      Cons

      I was hired on to Boeing as a Senior Software Engineer, only to quickly find out that Boeing doesn't have a clue what software engineering is. They tend to farm most of their software work out, so I've languished away in a cube for 5 months. I feel that I have developed PTSD from the smell of coffee and broken dreams. At some point, you're going to think "Man, I'm really not pulling my weight around here and just don't get what's happening." Then, you'll find the ashes of the last poor soul that sat in your cube and you'll realize it's not just you, it's the worthless environment you've been shoved into. Even if you found the strength to try and succeed here, the politics and constant backstabbing will take care of that quickly. To add to all of that, they have this Go4Zero movement where they shove safety crap down your throat constantly. They want to yell at you if you take a phone call while you're standing on the sidewalk, but don't say anything about the hazards their worthless union employees are creating from the construction they are doing on site. Trust me, you'll get sick of it. All in all, if your career goal is to come to work, be miserable, and die, come to Boeing. Otherwise, go somewhere else... literally anywhere else is better.

      The worst HR (Boeing India - Bangalore)

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good resources to learn and great future to the company as well to employees.

      Cons

      I need to write a whitepaper on Boeing India HR (Bangalore), Example 1: They never; ever reply to any email, even their mangers and their managers. I don't know it seems like we need to contact CEO of Boeing. Example 2: every one gets emails about pls do refer, and after referring they make sure you don't get any referral bonus. (they might be having some benefits it seems) Example 3: They never support the hiring process for a selected candidate, he has to follow up daily and even though they don't respond. (they always looks super busy, but out come will nil) one of my friend selected and because of HR delayed processing he rejected his offer though its a good package. (always package doesn't hold the people, they need some respect too)
