"I am working for Boeing since Feb 1981, before that was in the US Navy. The majority of my time at Boeing I work in the mainframe side of programming, I maintain a database and did programming that publish the maintenance manual for all of Boeing airplanes. When the program was converted over to new system I had to learn ASP and Dream Weaver program on my own."

"Awful corporate environment."

"Boeing is not a good place to be an IT person these days, especially in the Puget Sound. They're in the midst of outsourcing everything they can to kids out of school located in other locations in the US, as well as offshoring work to subs from India and Russia. The benefits are fantastic, but the long term job outlook is not good. Another thing to be aware of is the large bureaucratic inhibitors to bringing in leading edge technologies."
