Pros

You have to do very little to meet expectations The benefits are great Flex time and work from home 2 days a week is nice

Cons

No point in being a top performer here, there's no bonus incentives, salary incentives give you maybe a 1% bump for being a top performer Groups are almost all stingy about giving out even the smallest reward for going above and beyond. A typical big reward is 100 bucks worth of "pride points" which you can get something like a best buy gift card with I have worked with many groups in my job and this problem is consistent with 20+ groups I have talked to Salaries are almost always well below the median level like 80% of industry median for the 4 years I have been here and that's with getting 3 promotions Only 1 out of every 10 people is technical in IT so you will waste time reporting all your work to you 3 pms, 2 managers, 3 functional analysts, and a customer They don't care how much you work to improve yourself outside of work, this company is entirely about years of experience

Pros

1) Flexible working hours and virtual work option. For the same money, you will end up doing a lot less work. Some employees have more than 3 days each week virtual, some are 100% virtual. There is no way you can track if they are working at home or doing other non-work related activities. 2) You get paid overtime. So if you are really productive, slow down, and make some extra money on overtime. 3) Get paid for any education. People get their masters with Boeing for free to climb up the ladder. So if you already have your master’s degree, don’t consider Boeing. You lose your advantage because you will find a lot people have that from whatever online universities or evening programs.

Cons

You need a high tolerance level of things that do not make any sense. You need to have an attitude of "who cares" and really shift your focus on other things in your life, not work. Another disadvantage is that it is very hard to move to other companies after several years working with Boeing. You will be sucked into the culture and gradually loose your competitive advantages. Everybody at Boeing has the attitude of “get by and just work for the paycheck”, from employee to all levels of managers. The best deal is to become a manager and then you don’t need to do anything and just attend meetings and talk non-sense and follow orders. I don’t think those guys can survive in any other good companies.

Pros

Brand name and major Aerospace

Cons

Pathetic senior management. Being an engineering manager it is a worst nightmare in Boeing India engineering team. Most of the senior management does not have any people management and technical background. Company like Boeing must see this else no doubt another 737 max like disaster would come soon. HR is only to say welcome to Boeing India and thanks for joining and leaving Boeing India. Pathetic work life balance for lower management and team members. Senior management must have a vision. Most of the time managers bagging for good work to come but it is worst than a service industry. They keep fooling around that we have One Boeing policy like a lie. Senior management brought people and managers whom they know already and also conducted their interviews and selected them. No ethics in most of the senior managers. Morning management preach you for Ethics, work life balance, inclusion, retaliation etc and evening they do the same. Every evening 2-4 hours extra meetings, any one challenge seniors are thrown out; specially in Boing India Engineering
