Boeing reviews

Workplace culture included a lack of go-getters, people willing to think outside of the box, and people willing to challenge any status quo. "We've always done it this way" would perfectly summarize a lot of the technical and business leadership. Software engineering expertise in general is extremely lacking, with many people having only cursory computer science / software engineering knowledge (but good problem domain / product knowledge). To make the point, if it were polled people's opinion on how important unit testing code is, probably only half of the respondents would even know what it is, let alone have opinions on it.

Some Sr. Managers are allowed to succeed on the backs of their employees and first line managers and are not challenged. There are instances where this happens over time and the Sr. Manager has significant turnover (chewing through their direct reports). Executives need to actively engage to ensure this does not happen.
