Pros

SPEEA Union protected job. Work life balance is pretty amazing. Very flexible with flex time, Personal Business time, and Overtime (Time + $6.50). Amazing health benefits that cost from $0 - ~$300/month with 10% (for my age) matching on 401K! FREE college with the Learning Together Program. Minimum 2% salary increase each year. And so many more perks.

Cons

Mandatory 5 days in the office, Mandatory OT, lower pay than most software engineers in the region at big tech. Union negotiated raise pool of only 3% (hoping for more with new contract!)

Pros

Excellent work-life balance compared to many aerospace companies. Good benefits (healthcare, retirement, PTO).

Cons

- Five days per week in the office - Parking can be challenging. - Working across multiple time zones (U.S., Brazil, India) creates coordination overhead - Compensation is not competitive for the Seattle area. - Limited opportunities for meaningful career growth. While there are internal career paths, I haven't found many opportunities that align with the technical challenges and responsibilities I'm looking for - SPEEA's seniority-based structure can slow advancement for newer employees - Programs have very long development cycles, so it can take years to see your work become a finished product - Less exposure to cutting-edge technology than companies focused on emerging products (space, medical devices, AI hardware, quantum computing, etc. Significant bureaucracy and slow decision-making
