Not a good place to work

Pros

They call Boeing the Lazy B. Good place for those who are un-qualified and lazy.

Cons

Un-democratic, top down military style hierarchy. The employees are basically beaten down, the unions are broken, and the workers have no power or control. The benefits are getting reduced every year and work is being shipped overseas while foreign workers are imported. The environment is horrible, cramped cubbies, no expectation of privacy. Come here if you are happy being a slave to the corporate executives. You will be replaced soon and as cheaply as possible.

Pros

1. Great coworkers - honestly the main reason that keeps me here 2. Work-life balance; work week hours usually capped at 40 hours

Cons

Specific to the Supply Chain organization only: 1. The recent Supply Chain Transformation was not well thought out and has resulted in much confusion, chaos, uneven distribution of labor and low morale 2. Turnover has been high; folks remaining ended up absorbing more workload. There are plans to backfill but the organization is not hiring fast enough. It’s also difficult to land good candidates since our offers are usually not as appealing as the techie companies out there 3. Leaders high up in the chain do not understand how the org works and simply don’t care. This org also has the most incompetent managers in the Company

Pros

The Boeing Company is awesome, great ethics, great culture, bad choices in managers for programmes though. BIS is staffed by a great team of dedicated professionals led by rank amateurs that I wouldn’t put in charge of a MacDonald’s restaurant.

Cons

BIS is very badly managed and should be avoided. The senior team is a bunch of sycophants that have been promoted well beyond their worth, the senior manager is nowhere to be seen. Bad decision after bad decision, with absolutely no plan or forethought. Zero strategy, zero ability to generate new work and zero ability to manage what they have. I won’t be here long.
