The Boeing Company Employer Reviews

Large corporate structure with regular hire/layoff cycle. Not a good long-term employer.

I love working at Boeing as I very much enjoy being around airplanes and working hard. This is a team oriented environment but also requires one to be self starting and able to work with minimum supervision whenever necessary. Technically challenging and complex, Mfg Engineering is right in the middle of everything happening in the production system – more... that is Boeing Commercial Airplanes. I've learned much about using a large variety of computer tools/programs in order to gather the information I need and to put it into a form required for production. I've gained a lot of experience working with Design Engineers, production mechanics, project managers, Supervisors and co-workers in order to get things done to support the business objectives required to build commercial airplanes. – less

time and costs.

Great deal of leadership skills required, and a vast knowledge of manufacturing as well.
Very aggressive and demanding detail to scheduling with close attention to – more... quality.
Clean and organized team environment with unionized workforce.
Being able to travel to assembly plant and see assemblies installed in aircraft was amazing. – less

I am not sure I should have stayed my 20 years at this company. I think maybe the signs that I was not advancing after speaking my mind a few times should have let me know it was time to move on. Lots of talk about being forthcoming and holding people accountable but not a lot of actual reward for actually doing those things on the management side.

As a production worker at Boeing, most days were routine and predictable. I would access multiple computer systems in order to test the assigned system and make repairs as needed. I learned how to work closely with different team members in small areas of the airplanes. The hardest part of this job was my 100 mile commute, along with the need to become – more... a full-time caregiver for my stepmother. I enjoyed being able to initiate detailed changes relating to how some tests were worded as well as drawing blueprint revisions. – less

I've given Boeing multiple chances and the disappointments just continue. Throughout my time with the company, I experienced workplace bullying. Something that I never came across ever before in my many years in the work force. My mental, emotional and physical health were impacted significantly. This is not to mention that the amount of overtime that – more... is expected of you is completely unreasonable! I'm exhausted all around. The "tools" used are not adequate for such a large company. The lack of reliable and structured systems pave to continuous double, triple, quadruple amounts of work. Overall inconsistency of work. Management is weak as they are subdued to the politics that have been engraved to them. The benefits are great, but that's about it. – less

A lot of upward mobility is expected. Productivity is valued at every level.

I have been both direct and contractor at the Boeing Company.
Boeing is a nice place to work but does not have job security.
They over hire then have mass layoffs.

All the leaders and skills you could ask for are here. They make sure you live the Boeing Blue lifestyle and are taken care of. The job follows a strict guideline to provide great customer support and work ethics.

Good for experience. People were great to work with, work was mundane and low attention from supervisors.

Get assigned a job daily with a tight timeline
I Learned how to read drawings and diagrams for the air plane stations
Management was helpful without questions and getting understanding of what certain task were
Co-workers were friendly and provided assistance when needed
Working in small and confined spaced

Varied assignments ranging from aerodynamic design to flight control and auto-pliot system design.

The Boeing Company used to have some of the best and brightest engineers in the world. But that has faded.

HANDLED PARTS FOR MILITARY PROJECTS.INSPECTED PARTS AND ISSUED PARTS TO PRODUCTION FLOOR

Diverse and challenging Company with a Global presence. Cutting edge technology, market leader, dedicated to the safety of the country, and offer diverse range of career choices.

San Antonio is considered a lean manufacturing location; however, I am the only one working in an area designated for four individuals. Excessive overtime and reactive emergent activities with quick turnarounds are the norm--not the exception.

Boeing places a high value on quality products, delivered on-time by a strong ethical and diverse employee population.

Boeing really is a great company to work for. I had great manager and the work atmosphere is nice. The work life balance is good also, they really want employees to be balanced. Compensation is fair and usually higher than industry standards.
