Boeing is dominated by aggressive US customs and HR policies. If you are not American then you will not progress. ALL major decisions and influence is achieved in the US. Travel policy regularly interferes with daily tasks and regular travel bans occur. I work for my salary only.
What did you like most about the interview process?
That I got the job and a clear and positive description of the role was delivered.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Managing upwards. They fail to challenge upwards and feedback the effect that regressive policies are having. There is no upward clout. We regularly use local 'workarounds' to find ways around policy - or lack of it.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
US-centric policies and strategies need to become more dynamic globally or regionally. Leaders need to listen and be accountable for results. There is no training and no personal development; if you want to progress you need to arrange this yourself
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Customer-facing roles are rarely benchmarked against the customer environment. I earn significantly less than the role I could have in one of my customers, yet require the same level of knowledge and experiecne - or higher. Boeing has little real-terms knowledge of the customer environment.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
It has too many constituent elements stuck in the past. Combined with the brain drain during recent lay-offs have left the organization short of good people and even shorter of good ideas. There needs to be significant changes to HR and People policies to stimulate employee pride and trust.
What are some of the best things about your team?
There are some clever people in the group. The US bias means these folks in Europe do not get promoted so are stuck in their roles as well. When they are good this is great for me. The comradery of all being in the same predicament is bonding.
