Pros

Good health benefits, easy to stand out in the crowd, large company offers broad access to resources and connections in the industry for training, travel and networking

Cons

Bureaucracy galore. Leadership can be short-sighted, and allows too much mediocrity to persist. The predominant employee base are lifers who don't like change and can barely use a computer. The best of them are well-intentioned but offer insignificant contributions; the worst of them are willfully ignorant or obstructionist.

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
