Pros

Health benefits along with tuition. That is the only motivating factor for people staying. Short commute

Cons

Managers that do not know how to think outside the box and can be hesitant when ideas are offered. Creativity seems very limited, and in order for employees to flourish that needs to be encouraged. Favoritism and perception issues especially in hiring continue to exist. I recall one of the other OA's complaining about attending a meeting about how to record bathroom breaks on your timesheet. This seems like a waist of time, couldn't this have been accomplished in an email?

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
