Pros

Large company that lets you move around fairly easily. Lots of opportunity to receive training or continued education. There is so much potential to really do some awesome things in the aerospace industry. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Boeing views IT as a cost center. Most managers in IT have no IT background. Boeing does not want to invest in good software developers. Most software development is outsourced. Bureaucracy gets in the way. The constraints that Boeing puts on itself is its biggest obstacle to achieving something great. Culture is toxic. There is a real "you can't do that" attitude and a lack of trust.

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
