Pros

My coworkers are the reason I am still working here. There are a lot of experienced colleagues that REALLY want to improve things and get work done.

Cons

Boeing was an outstanding company until the outdated management structure brought it down in standing as an aerospace leader. It is unfortunate that so many employees are leaving due to how the company is being over managed by layers of management. Beware, management also causes career to end by incorrectly hiring you as a specific skill/job family, then when you try to get promoted the company line is that it cannot happen, because you are in the wrong job family.

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
