Boeing provides good medical and dental benefits, good pay, flexible work hours, and are very supportive of the military (I am in the Army Reserves). Speea represented employees have a bonus program which the IAM does not offer.

Cons

Mandatory to join the union, layoff potentials and Speea represented new hires no longer have a pension program, that was voted out during the 2013 contract negotiations

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
