Pros

Most coworkers are very experienced and therefore great people to learn from. Because it's such a huge company, it's easy to move around to find the perfect fit, or to move up into management. Benefit are also the best.

Cons

Because its such a huge company, it can take a long time to learn your job and all about the company and its structure. Ultimately you make airplanes, but sometimes have a job role that is many degrees of separation away from that.

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
