Pros

Benefits are great (with the exception of vacation), the opportunity to work on state-of-the-art projects, great people, a sense of pride knowing you're working on some of the most complex machines on the planet. The company isn't afraid to take chances on new technology.

Cons

Definitely, the biggest con is the lack of paid time off. Generally, Boeing meets or exceeds what the rest of the industry offers for benefits. However, the paid time off is FAR below the industry average. Management can be out-of-touch and in over their collective heads, but that's the case anywhere you work.

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
