Boeing Employee Reviews for Engineering Technician

"Feast or famine; good times bad times."

What do you like about working at Boeing?

"I liked the medical insurance, the 401k, the experience of working at a big company. In many ways I felt employees were treated fairly."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"My advice is if you are offered a job, ask for more money. It's my understanding the job offers are negotiable. But before that I'd say ask about the program you'll be working on. Specifically ask about the health of the program, if it's a government contract and approximately how long the job will last."

What don't you like about working at Boeing?

"I felt there was no growth opportunity for me. Management tried to move me up but HR wouldn't allow it because I was still in school at the time and not done with school."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The managers needed to be more realistic about the groups/projects they were managing. I would suggest managers needed to be more accountable for their groups. Too many times managers would lie to each other about what their groups could do and what they have accomplished. It was like they were playing a mixture of chicken and the blame game. Nobody would take responsibility for missed schedules. It was very frustrating to us worker bees."
