Circling the drain - Engineer Boeing Employee Review

Everything else. Listen, if you're a new Engineering student about to earn your degree, you can do much, much better than Boeing. This place has turned into an accounting firm. It's always schedule and cost over quality. Always. Don't believe the platitudes about how safety is the highest priority. It's rubbish. The Executives perform that song and dance to the media, but in the trenches, managers will nix any and everything that gets in the way of their precious metrics. It doesn't matter if it enhances safety for either manufacturing operations or the customer, if it adds time to the production flow, off to the bin it goes. Nothing currently in the news is a surprise to those of us on the inside. Absolutely nothing. The 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster was a case of management overruling engineering, and the practice is alive and well at the big B, failing MCAS systems and random door plugs flying off and all. So again, to you budding, bright-eyed and hopeful engineering grads out there, might I suggest one of Elon Musk's companies. Or perhaps Airbus. Boeing is kaput.
