Pros

You can “green light” to a higher paying job even if you’re extremely incompetent.

Cons

The pay is bad compared to anyone else in aviation. Mandated overtime with no work life balance and if you can’t do the overtime it counts as an absence (overtime sometimes starting at 1:30 am). Almost no one knows what they’re doing (which shows in the quality of planes coming out of production). Management only cares about numbers not safety or quality (we were knowingly kept in a trailer with black mold and then moved the the 1 trailer with the “least amount of black mold”)

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
