Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits; challenging work with autonomy.

Cons

For several years Boeing has been downsizing (especially in salaries). This favors entry and lower level employees over senior experienced employees. While line management is doing the best they can under difficult circumstances, senior management is being lazy and making these cuts with a "broad-axe" strategy rather than a more surgical approach based on value and ROI.

Good benefits, but too many military officers in mgmt

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High pay with good benefits. The pension was recently frozen, Boeing pays more than average into your 401K (4% of salary automatic + 75% matching if you contribute up to 8% of your salary.

Cons

St Louis defense side increasingly run by tone deaf military officers who treat software engineers like army privates. Company boasts of its part-time work opportunities, but management will make it difficult for men to pursue this. Management is arrogant, aloof, and increasingly over-worked.
