Pros

Decent benefits and 401k. That’s about it.

Cons

Boeing is a highly political and toxic culture where ambition goes to die. Unethical treatment and behavior by execs is routinely covered up by HR. Hard work is not rewarded and change is met with miles of red tape and resistance. Laziness and apathy are the norm. All the tech and business practices used is at best 20 years old. Boeing is a slow moving dinosaur that would rather not look up than do something about their oncoming meteor and an absolutely horrible place to work.

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
