      Once a great company - Flight Control Engineer Boeing Employee Review

      Pros

      Work life balance. Interesting Stuff to work on. As a Flight Control System Software Engineer, the stuff you gets to use to do your work is very diverse, ranging from writing software, to in-person hardware in-loop airplane testing. Taking charge of a sub-system and take it from start to finish is encouraged.

      Cons

      The engineering work flow is long and frustrating, and very much stuck in the past. Lack of modern software engineering method/workflow, and the manual "paper trail" one has to produce throughout the process is really burdensome to engineers, and not value adding, nor ensuring quality. Knowledge transfer is also somewhat disorganized.

      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
