Pros

Huge company with lots of opportunities across the country. Defense jobs can be volatile at times, and having the mass of a 100,000+ employee company usually makes it easy to stay employed if programs get cancelled, downsized, etc.

Cons

Huge company. Sometimes perks can get pinched as the company tries to reign in spending. Also can be tough to get merit based promotions. In fact, i've never heard of an employee getting a true merit based promotion that wasn't into a management position.

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
