Pros

Lots of opportunities , as long as you have the motivation . they do have lots of commercial projects to work on , so you can have your pick from 737 , 747, or the new 787 to work on . If you have a broad experience about aircrafts you will right in , since they also deal with old Mc donnell douglas airplanes . the area around long beach airport is nice to work in , and you can' t beat the weather here in southern california . the beach is close by , and utilities are inexpenssive compared to other states .

Cons

Too big of a company

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
