Pros

Mixed environment. Old school engineering teams from 777 days and prior are thinning out, the people and skills that were the backbone of making Boeing successful. If you are lucky to work in one of these teams you will learn a lot.

Cons

Replacing the old school teams is a bureaucracy of middle management and project managers that act as intermediaries for upper management that need basic information fed to them in stoplight charts. Red is bad, yellow is caution, green is good. Anything deeper that requires the management to expose thier lack of skill so they start yelling and telling you had bad you are, you are not a team player, etc. The original 777 took 5 years to develop a clean slate airplane. 777X (a derivative of the 777) started in 2013, was supposed to be done in 2019, and won't be delivered until 2027 if they are lucky, 9 years longer than the original. This is pure and simply because of all the middlemen who don't add value. These middlemen didn't exist before. As a new hire out of college I had meetings will Alan Mullaly. Today's Boeing the leaders are layers away, hiding behind the middlemen. This leads to politics, CYA, you name it.

Pros

Vacation accrual is amazing and no one questions if you need time off. Great team rapport and connections made here. Excellent processes and systems that support getting our jobs done.

Cons

After leaving Boeing, my final W2 was incorrect. I was unable to talk with someone to help rectify the information, and was continuously denied the ability to speak with someone about it. This was due to a phone number change, and the only way you can be verified is through a text on your phone. Since I no longer have that phone number, I was told I could not speak with anyone to rectify the information. I sent paperwork in (via snail mail) to get this rectified and after months, it is still not rectified. I will be unable to put the correct W2 on my taxes and this is an issue, as the W2 was materially wrong. In addition, I was paid under market for over 15 years at this company. New hires were being brought in at significantly higher salaries with little to no experience, and the company rarely gave me more than a 2% increase. Finally, bonuses are promised, however since there are so many issues with senior leadership, I rarely saw the full bonus amount.
