Pros

-Market leading Health Insurance, but will probably go away in 2016. -Pension benefits but who knows how long those will last -Free education -You can coast your whole career if that's what you want

Cons

-Politics, especially among management. -Jobs and responsibility is so diluted, you don't develop your skills as fast here than at other companies. If you stay too long, nobody else will want value you, and Boeing knows it, so they start paying you below market. -Below market salary. -No respect and undervaluing of engineers.

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
