Pros

Good view from this location.

Cons

Stalked by married males from room to room and to our cars. Engineers screaming at us (females) to approve designs that were not approved, to put our names on them & take the blame. Being subjected to a male lead sitting for 8 hours a day, staring at us within 2 inches of our faces. 8 hours. People sobbing in the restroom due to the stress. Impossible expectations from contract staff to force up to 30 engineers in a room to legally authorize acceptance to designs for The Military Tanker Project. Engineers refuse to attend, yet the schedule rolls on. Married male managers insisting on coming to single womens homes at night. Very physically dangerous environment for females. When women complain they are fired, and banned for life from employment. For life for saying no. Life.

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
