Boeing reviews

Advancement - tend to get stuck in the same job over and over again. Poor communication - most of the management does not flow things down to the "grunt level"; I usually have to go to other areas within my program to find information concerning me. No engineering rotation program - nothing for the college entry level to try different areas within engineering function so to get an idea what might best suit that person (Boeing is trying an attempt at this, but still failing....engineering function should work with the business functional area which has a wonderful rotation program).

There is no real focus on quality. The entirely political focus of defense products require projects to be subcontracted to shreds because they must cover as many political districts as possible, so maintaining quality is a nightmare, and creating a consistent product is also a nightmare. Management is incredibly understaffed and manage poorly. There is little emphasis on developing talent, so you basically sit at a cube working on your own. This is different from any team environment I've ever worked in because you really aren't working in a team. Everyone is spread out in so many different places that it's hard to keep a coherent understanding of what is being done. There are so many processes that you begin to believe that the company hired you, but they don't trust you at all to do the right thing. Why hire people if you already have an algorithm to do things?
