Pros

For most of my years with the company, it was a great place to work. Good salary, great benefits, great people to work with. I loved my time there, when employees were given the opportunity to make decisions that truly impacted their job, and the products they created.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, management has turned more and more toward micro-management, with many decisions being made from up on high and filtered on down to the non-management employees, with very little room for positive change on the way down. The company used to care so much for their people, now they only care about share holders, and the short term dollar.

Benefits are great, base pay could be better.

Currently the major location with jobs are not attractive, pay should reflect the undesirable location.

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
