Pros

* Salary is very good (compared to the area as a whole) as is medical and dental. * Depending on what site you're at, gyms can be close and cost about $24/mo. Plus, there's onsite massage once a week (for a fee).

Cons

* Employees' opinions are not sought or valued: one training told employees to sit down, shut up, and work and that employees were easily replaceable even in this economy. (And this in a skill that is not easily replaceable.) * Projects are last minute and check box. Just do it, no matter if it's totally the wrong thing to do, just as long as someone can say it's done. * While ethics are stressed (due to criminal executive behavior years ago), management is anything but ethical. Employees are frequently told to just get things done and complaints to HR simply put a black mark in your employee file. * Seemingly every year, a benefit you had counted on is yanked away or substantially reduced (education, health care, telecommuting) so that, year by year, your actual compensation package dwindles.

Things come up every now and then that throws work-life balance out the windows.

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
