Get in between 7.30 am good day you leave at 4.30 pm mostly 5 pm often 5.45 pm.Constantly monitoring service desk calls that had been assigned to myself as I  worked on a remote site  I needed to  my prioritize tasks my working day ruthlessly . It was vital to have a good  working relations with customers anticipating their demands to enable myself to identify difficulties likely to impede a tasks successfully being completed.  
Since I left  allot of the rolls I did have been automated and most people would not have to work from 7.30 am to 5 pm .  
I learned how to set up build a variety of  laptops and set up printers also on  servers. I used my  knowledge to maintain optimum availability of servers  to many several 1000's of  users and the integrity of the data they needed. 
Management listen they follow regulations and try to be fare . 
I had limited exposure to the main office as I worked on a satellite site  the work place culture was inclusive professional and friendly suite younger worker graduates should do well.  
The hardest part of the jobs was juggling priorities with limited resources but this is  historical I cannot say what it is like now. 
The most enjoyable part the was meeting and supporting the users face to face .

Ther is no typical day, no one day is the same as another so flexibility and adaptation are the order. I have learned a huge amount in Systems Engineering and ITIL processes. I have also honed my skills as a manager for multiple diciplined and cross functional teams.I have attend many management courses and been enclouraged to learn new skill that enhance teams caoabilities to grow.

My mangement are supportive and encouraging. One team one Boeing is the mantra, this allows everyone to have a voice and it also encourage new and imaginative ideas.

Letting people go or seeing them leave unexpectidely. I try to understand what has happened and feed it back or talk to the indiviual to make sure that they understand as well.

Success, producing the applications or products for the customer knowing that you are making a huge contribution to defence and protecting our country.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The ability to be able to transfer to other jobs.  Boeing's relocation has been a pleasure and make the transition simplified.   The good ole' boy system has diminished somewhat.   

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Putting up with the favoritism in the past, due to the nepotism with a general manger and a person who mistreated people for a long time.  It took us finally to write to the Vice President of HR at the Headquarters before someone was finally terminated!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
With the exception of the lead of our group,  it was a pleasure to work amongst other areas.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pretty much I was able to do my job with the skills and company departments throughout the company and in any location.

Just like the aircraft side. Managers are in it for the $$$. They will always chose the bottom dollar route over what is right. 

Boeing Site Manager was always getting caught lying to our Government Customer, at change of contract the Site Manager was the only person not picked up by neither the new company or Boeing. He ended up having to look for a new job. 

Management throughout Boeing needs to look at themselves and fix the money hungry attitude that cost the death of hundreds of lives (737 max) by choosing money over quality.  

A company that loves to say thank you a lot, but this is all the recognition you'll get - lots of talk/meetings about actions and none of which are followed up. Promotions are a joke, and are only for the people whos face fits within the managers circle of 'YES' people.  Experience here counts for absolutely NOTHING - you'll be treated like a number and nothing more.  If you like a lot of sick days, and a company with empty promises, well this if for you.  The appraisal system is a total joke too.  HR department is in tatters, and the recruitment process is the most drawn out I have ever known.

my advice is look elsewhere.... I did

Worked at Boeing 5 years.  

took a problem to ethics fully expecting Boeing to deal with it properly.  UK management simply made me redundant by moving my job back to USA.  Was that the best solution for Boeing UK?  No but it did make an embarrassing problem disappear.  In other words Boeing UK is a young Boeing company and the management must ensure they stay on the right side of US Boeing.  Rather like a naughty child.

Boeing pay well and if you don't believe the ethical rubbish and instead just keep your head down then you can have a highly paid but tough job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
after ten years. 
I can't think of anything positive 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
terrible management
poor relations.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
very dysfunctional,
 large uncaring And distant. ..

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
overall.. you are left too complete your tasking
with minimal training and feedback..
micromanaging by untrained and poorly supervised team members is common.

a typical day at work would be cleaning the kitchen then cooking for the pilots then we would clean up from breakfast to start cooking lunch I learned a lot about teamwork and working in small time scales 
the management was relaxed and fair handed 
the hardest part would have been the constant cleaning and the pressure put on by work mates and customers 
the most enjoyable would have been the fact we could interact with customers on a first name basis which meant we got to have a close bond with them

I worked for a Boeing subsidiary in 2014-15. I'm sure it would be a fantastic place to work if you're a heterosexual, white male from Hertfordshire - for me though, the everyday racism, sexism, homophobia and antisemitism, in which managers often participated, was just too much, and after spending my childhood impatiently eager to join the Aerospace industry, I very quickly left and re-evaluated my career.

It is a company that makes you feel like you are important and your views are vital to the growth of the company; as an employee you are engaged in the operation of the company and have a say in the continuous improvements to lean out procedures and processes to make the business more streamlined and reactive to customer requirements. The culture is forward thinking and without a shadow of a doubt, the best aligned company I've had the honour to work for.
