Boeing Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I'm a new employee at Boeing in the Research and Technology division of the company. I also worked for the company in St. Louis, where I loved my job and management team but hated the city. So, I chose to move to Seattle, where I wasn't sure about the job but loved the city. The only problem is that now that I'm here, I find out all engineers are forced to be in a union AND the company hates said union, so is moving most of the research work away from the Seattle area. On top of all of that, the communication between the management teams and the workers (including the engineers, not just the shop mechanics) is TERRIBLE. While we do have great health benefits, the company doesn't really offer much else. Lastly, the company is ridiculously behind in technology. They just upgraded to Windows 7 two years ago."

"Great place to work, excellent opportunity for advancement, and definitely a challenge. I love my job."

"Boeing is stuck in old school thought, 'we've been doing this for 30 years'. This mindset prevents real advancement and hinders professional growth."

"Boeing is an awesome company to work at. It supports its engineers with many opportunities. Boeing in Southern California (Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Seal Beach, El Segundo) however has been shrinking due to slow defense spending. I don't recommend working Boeing Southern CA."

"Boeing treats its interns and new hires well. There are resources to help you find a mentor and programs such as REACH that can help welcome you into the Puget Sound community. Many IT professionals at Boeing have been working there for many years and have a lot of knowledge about the company and career advice to offer. However, there aren't a lot of pure software development opportunities at Boeing. In many teams, you'll be expected to take on a bunch of other roles, and sometimes, and oftentimes, business processes are slow to execute. If you're looking for a more fast-paced and startup feel, to work with the most cutting-edge technologies, or for an accelerated career growth in software development, then you may want to look elsewhere."

"Amazing company with multiple locations throughout the globe!"

"There is a severe disconnect between the department level and "Big Boeing." It seems from the front lines that the only thing that Big Boeing cares about are the numbers and the bottom line. When it comes down to the front line engineers there is little that you can do to affect your career."
