Pros

Company in the past had great benefits and employee friendly atmosphere. People who joined 22 years or more earlier have the best benefits. retirement, 40k are 2 great benefits. Medical dental are good compared to others in the region.

Cons

Environment currently is very unfriendly and often stressful. Jobs are going away and no one can be sure. Older employees are particularly under threat of losing job. There is little growth potential for most engineers and even horizontal mobility has come to a halt. Jobs go away but people are not offered any relocation.

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
