      Pros

      Opportunities to do interesting work.

      Cons

      So much bureaucracy, so many unnecessary meetings. Way too many managers with all needing to invent changes to justify their roles and get promoted. Excellence is not valued; ability to bring in money is only thing value -- issue is, the ability to bring in money is extremely strongly tied to what team you are in and what internal / external opportunities you are exposed to. Many people are in `dead-end` teams that never see / generate funding opportunities and hence careers are capped quite quickly.

      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
