Working at Boeing in Seattle, WA: 73 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Seattle, WA Area

"I worked for The Boeing Company for 34 years and had a very varied work experience in project management."

"There is a case to be made for whatever opinion you have about Boeing. It was a great place to work with good people. When I first got to the organization they thought it would double in size. Then half the org's budget got taken for something else and the budget got cut in about half every year after that. They have said the org will go away in 2016 and that may be Boeing's plan but I do not see how that is possible since they do not yet have replacement apps for some of the critical things that org did/does. I suspect it will continue to live on in some sort of half life state while they ramp up its replacement. The replacement may be fine but you would really want to check on the long term viability of the org you are going to before jumping in. This uncertainty is the main reason why I said no to the CEO."
