Pros

Good work life balance. Employee compensation is fair. Paid overtime and salaried employees hired prior to 2009 or so still have a nice pension. The company has transformed from a good old boys network to a more culturally diverse company over the past 20 years.

Cons

Large organizations... difficult to implement new efficiencies. Promotions are still mostly based on one's ability to network and sell themselves.

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
