Pros

Good benefits. Flexible work hour. Cozy work environment. If you have no ambition in life and is willing to settle for status quo, this is the perfect company for you.

Cons

Little challenge to the works we do around here. The company has become so supplier oriented that there's little in-house engineering/design, instead we engineers are turned into mini program managers tasked with overseeing suppliers and fetching papers and signatures. Worse, all the papers are handled as if it was back in the 60's and 70's, when there were no electronic signature, and a lot of time are wasted by us engineers just to make the report 'look' nice. There's little support from non-engineering functions; a lot of times it's the engineers that are supporting the non-engineering functions.

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
