Pros

Pay can be good, you have very smart people to work with and most are pretty passionate about the job. Benefits are good and bonuses are regular, health plans have good options. There is an encouragement to keep learning although the monetary support has gotten smaller over the years.

Cons

Although pay can be good the system that determines it is very subjective and you often get shafted. Also I see all the time that Boeing values diversity but my personal experience is that they didn't really care. There is very little diversity in upper management and it feel like everyone is solely focused on metrics and not the people or the product. Working for a giant corporate machine gets old especially when it's one with as much baggage as Boeing. Boeing is the antithesis of nimble right now and very stuck in it's ways.

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
