Pros

Most engineers are really smart, and friendly/easy to work with. Pay is slightly higher than other aero companies in the area

Cons

First line managers are doing their best with what they get, but senior management does not understand a thing that we’re doing at the bottom line. They keep adding new senior VPs and managers hoping that it’ll fix the problems. Nope. So much attrition. More than any company I know in Seattle. It’s ridiculous. I always dreamt of blue as a dream company, but as I’ve worked here I’ve realized it seems like that from the outside only. The equity plan is worthless. It’s the opposite of equity. The current CEO has now lost all of the major government contracts, we’ve pushed all of our program schedules out. Slowest decision making I’ve seen at any aerospace company. Significant technical debt results in tons of rework and more complex solutions later on. Super frustrating.
