Control and Recover 66 on orbit satellites
Flight Operations Specialist (Current Employee) – Leesburg, VA – December 4, 2015
A typical day consists of monitoring telemetry on 72 on orbit satellites. Satellites can have major anomalies that require smart and direct intervention to safe the satellite and return the service to the customers for Iridium. While assuming the duties of Mission Director, critical decisions are made and implemented in a precise and timely order. My Direct Reporting Manager sits next to me which keeps my personal performance at a high level in all situations of anomalies or normal maintenance operations. The co-workers that I have the pleasure working are highly intelligent college grads from various engineering fields. The rotating shifts and extended work hours make this job particularly difficult sometimes. Recovering the satellite during a highly technical anomaly is the most rewarding part of the job. Knowing that you saved military men and women during times of conflict with impeccable satellite communication is quite an amazing feeling.
Pros
Techinical Thinking
Cons
None
Good temp job
Contract Administrator (Former Employee) – Seal Beach, CA – April 24, 2018
Being asked to write a review for Indeed even though I worked here so long ago. This was a temp job and I was in the insurance contract worker's compensation department.
Job was great, but as you would expect from a bid company, so much paperwork and the chain of command for anything to be approved was ridiculous! Plenty of people around to help, just not authorize anything. Perfect place if you wanted to sit around at lunch and talk about the good old days! Plenty of people waiting to retire that were just doing their time. Nice people, just not the place for me.

Workplace Culture
Manager - Procurement Agent (Current Employee) – Everett, WA – April 23, 2018
Priorities aren't always clear or are mixed. Individuals decide what they want to work on/towards which isn't always the main objective. Benefits are excellent. It is a global and amazing company to work for making anyone proud to be part of a company changing the world like it does.
Pros
Work/Life Balance
Cons
Organizational and Performance changes are not being executed fairly in all areas
Top rated in benefits
Aircraft Quality Inspector B787-8/-9 (Former Employee) – Charleston, SC – April 23, 2018
Room for improvement within the culture and leadership. Care for "family time" are vocalized but not meant. Injuries and worse have occurred when management was notified of potential dangers and then dismissed. However, employees jobs are secured and taken care of if they do get hurt on the job. Advancement opportunities are abundant.

Designing printed circuit boards for military satellites
PWB Product Designer Hughes Aircraft (Former Employee) – El Segundo, CA – April 23, 2018
Going over schematic drawings to ensure proper component placement on PCB board design per electrical engineer. This was a quiet workplace due to the very intense concentration.
After 3 years, I was offered a supervising position for the "VIRGO" program which included overseeing 20 plus engineers.
Hardest part of the job was attending and organizing constant meetings for the various boards within the program.

Great if you are a Corporatist
QUALITY SYSTEMS SPECIALIST (Former Employee) – Seattle, WA – April 23, 2018
Boeing will be for you what you make of it. Boeing does a pretty good job in terms of long term careers. Outstanding even. I found the "Corporate Religion to be more than I could bear long term.
Collaborative yet competitive work environment.
Airport Technical Analyst (Current Employee) – Seal Beach, CA – April 22, 2018
Boeing can be a great place to work, but it sometimes carries a mentality of an older, slow-moving corporate environment that can be process-heavy and burdensome.
It needs to transform into a leaner company with fewer management levels, and I believe that will aid in Boeing's ability to compete with younger enterprises.

Great place to end your career

Typical huge company bureaucracy. Takes years to accomplish anything.

Different work cultures based on location.
Employee Development Specialist (Former Employee) – Everett, WA – April 20, 2018
Boeing can be a great place to work depending on the location and the business objective. There are several organizations within Boeing. They promote One Boeing but they have a long way to go to achieve that goal. My experience is mostly positive and I would encourage anyone interested in working at Boeing to go for it. They have an outstanding education program, one of the very best benefits available.
