Pros

Good salary/benefits. Big company offers lots of wow moments. High tech, an engineers dream. I also enjoy the salary and benefits which are above average.

Cons

Sometimes feel it is too big for visibility. Plants are all over the world, gives some opportunities to move around but not much. Internal hiring is common and if laid off you have an opportunity to be picked by another location.

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
