Pros

it isn't the old work force at Boeing that makes it strong, its all the new people and variety of backgrounds that make it a strong company. The variety - or diversity - of the people respect having a job and are more open to ideas than the old stagnet culture.

Cons

The original culture of Boeing is stagnet, they are not quick to share ideas or reward those around them. The senior management is closed minded and difficult to persuade when it comes to adapting to new ideas quickly. I personally wasted the time I was there, the management there discouraged creative thinking and were easily intimidated.

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
