Boeing reviews

As with many large contractors, programs get over-promised and then reality sets in and it becomes a scramble to maintain budget and schedule. Turnover is also an issue, especially for new hires, whether due to work environment, company culture, or a lack of opportunities to advance.

However, it is probably not the based place for an aggressive, young, go-getter that is looking for a leadership position or a highly respectable technical position at a young age. Getting a promotion is highly political and somewhat secretive. Even when assigned to highly visible projects, most young engineers play an "assistant" role. I guess they don't want to "throw you in the fire." This is not an incentive based company, but more so a team based company - which means no matter how hard you work, you may not receive individual compensation or recognition, but if your teams performs well, then everyone wins. Please always remember that your reputation will make or break you, which goes a long way here. I work hard to establish good relationships with people of all ages in all Boeing environments. Also, Boeing internet and intranet presence can be updated - in the age of Facebook and Twittr, alot of the programs feel like ancient history.
