Boeing Process Engineer reviews

no schedule flexibility, poor vacation, industry standard for an industry leader isnt acceptable, and the US model for vacation and benefits is unhealthy and becoming obsolete, no paid incentives to perform above average, terrible raise structure, no telecommuting, old culture and mindset that is extinct elsewhere ( reminiscent of Theory X mgmt style) and not flexible to new generation of worker's needs and wants, no focus on career growth relevant to worker's interests, just a job, not a career, easy to become irrelevant outside of boeing, so much documentation and bureaucracy, mostly project mgmt in engineering positions, very little if any engineering, antiquated software and systems, limited budget, too focused on stock price, not enough on employees, thinly veiled leadership programs to belittle employee value for shareholder gains, poor business model focused on short term, obsessed with one competitor, finite game instead of infinite game( see Live 2 Lead- Simon Sinek), fear based mgmt instead of incentives, inept middle level leadership, terrible metrics focused on the wrong items. If you plan to have a life long career here like previous generations, realize its no longer like it used to be. All the currently retiring employees were here for the golden age, which has passed. If you are here for long ( 7+ years) you will find yourself becoming better at Boeing only skill sets and processes and finding it difficult to grow in areas of valuable and universal skill sets that can be used outside of Boeing. This is part of why there are reported 60%+ turnover rates within many engineering departments, and many young to mid career engineers leaving for companies and industries that treat their employees better.
