Pros

A lot of the work you're doing is pretty cool. Also you get integrated into a team, so you'll be working with actual employees. The best overall though is Boeing is an amazing employer. Hard to believe that a company of that size actually cares about you, but they really work hard to pay you really well. If you're an intern, don't just look at the hourly salary, because they'll pay a lot more (meaning double for me) in relocation.

Cons

Worked in defense, so had company politics to deal with in addition to government bureaucracy. Can be frustrating at times dealing with some of their antiquated systems.

Pros

Benefits are great, base pay could be better.

Cons

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
