Boeing reviews

Boeing hasn't learned from any of the severe safety issues that took place in recent history. Changing CEO won't fix this company because the infection is at the first-line management level. This company is far far away from being a company that puts safety of profits. For example, there are first-line managers who are denying promotions because there are no safety issues with the model that the individual is supporting. No safety issue means less work for that employee thus he/she cannot be promoted. This is sickening and it actually happened in 2024. Morale is very low in some teams. A lot of early career engineers are using Boeing as a stepping stone and I don't blame them. Senior engineers are always looking for voluntary layoff opportunities. Pay for early career engineers is low compared to the other companies. Benefits are average.

Hiring and promotion systems force career engineers out of the company, classic ' you have to leave to promote or get substantial raises' situation. Senior management is generally late career washouts who are not held accountable for poor performance (i.e. low retention of employees). Performance evaluation system is subjective and broken, only present to protect the company legally. High performers are milked for all they have and not compensated accordingly. Systematic, standardized training and development of staff is unfunded and unplanned. First line managers (k-level) are overtasked and unable to effectively managed. Facilities and physical benefits are lacking (you wouldn't think you were in a world class engineering company when you walk through the door each day and find your desk). Finally, I have no confidence c-suite and executive leadership, nor the board. If I didn't know better I'd say they are milking this historic company for all the money they can before they abandoned ship. No accountability for these leaders.
