Pros

Lots of clever and hard working people. Challenging work environment. Commercial aerospace business is the business side to be in.

Cons

Work life balance non existent. No credible performance management of employees Managers over-rated and have little capability Defence business has significant underlying issues with no credible long term strategy Lots of typical big business marketing about ethics, well being, personal development and so on but no real execution. Defence business is still in the 19th century Career opportunities only exist if your in with the right crowd

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
