Pros

Good benefits available if you make it past the probationary period.

Cons

Was hired as a contract employee and told that my hours would be Monday-Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm. After leaving a job I enjoyed and accepting the position I was told that I would be required to work nights and weekends. During the interview process I asked on more than one occasion about the hours because I was in night school. I was assured that I would be Monday-Friday 8-4:30. Then weeks later I was told that I if I could not work the overtime/evening/weekend hours that I could find a new job. So I found a new job.

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
