Pros

Was rif'd after 30 years plus with the company. Loved working with the people and the technology. Great benefits - severance package, retirement and medical.

Cons

Right now the company is in the lets get cheaper younger people to do the work. I have now heard they will be replacing me with a new hire. Management are tied up in meetings all day and my manager never got to know me. In IT it seems as if you get a new manager every year.

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
