Pros

Excellent Pay and Benefits. A lot of overtime if you are into that.

Cons

Profit versus Quality. Upper management wants you to finish as many jobs as possible so they can look good and get higher bonuses while you are held accountable if the plane crashes. They tried to get rid of quality teams until the second 737 plane crashed. With the layoffs going around, it looks like they are back on that idea as they are laying off quality employees hired all the way from 2011.

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
