      Steer clear of Boeing in Houston

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is at or above average at this time when it seems like so many companies are trying to pass less. The benefits are still great compared to many other companies, but they are cutting back and the playing field is beginning to even.

      Cons

      The management is toxic. You tend to be overworked as they drive to unrealistic schedules. There are management favorites and if you are not already one there is no chance to become one. All management wants surrounding them are toadies and sycophants. I know this sounds harsh, but it has not always been this way. I have been with this company for over 15 years and I am actively looking for a new position because I cannot take anymore.

      Mixed Good and Bad

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits were outstanding when I worked there, but they were cutting some when I left. They cut unlimited educational benefit though they left in place a common one of paying for classes if they related to your job. I think pension was cut for new employees but I don't know for sure. Salaries were competitive Engineering management came from engineering disciplines. Having had a different experience since, I see how wonderful it is to have management that you can discuss your work with New projects were very exciting and fun (but don't count on it for a first project there - there's high internal candidate competition for these projects). they used newer technologies and the problems were interesting. Because engineers were in a union, you got paid for every hour you worked. Met some very smart people there.

      Cons

      Old projects or highly political projects were a drag to work on. Some projects are 20+ years old and so are their technologies One project was highly politicized making it difficult to even leverage enough to accomplish anything. Foreign projects had very heavy government regulation burdens that made for a lot of dry, boring work. When I first went to work there, there was an ethics scandal every week at the highest levels. System Engineering wasn't very strong.

      Rampant discrimination and unethical managers

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good if you are white, conservative, and willing to cheat.

      Cons

      This company has a serious discrimination problem and unethical managers. Despite they do ethical training every year (imposed by the Federal Government that caught them cheating, not by choice) it is just a facade. HR is non-existing, if a manager is acting unethically and you report him to HR, they will tell you to find another job, managers can do whatever they want and they cannot be fired.
