Avoid, unless you have high tolerance for bureaucracy and corporate BS - Production Engineer Boeing Employee Review

Pros

Fair compensation; nice 401(k) match; good opportunities for training; education reimbursement; there are *some* interesting jobs, but good luck getting one.

Cons

The company has a very low bar for its workforce: you'll work with some good folks, but also a lot of rocks. With very few exceptions, engineering positions DO NOT involve creative engineering work and are primarily focused on navigating the internal bureaucracy. If you're an engineer who likes being on the phone, going to meetings, and managing foreign offices and suppliers doing the creative work, then you may like it here. Management turnover is atrocious. Managers are constantly moving between different work groups, which causes enormous disruption. Engineering excellence takes a back seat to cost (it didn't used to be that way).

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
