Great start, lousy end. They no longer respect technical expertise of those over 45. - Principal Systems Engineer Boeing Employee Review

Pros

Average office culture for a tech company; punishments for executive indiscretions are trickled down to the trenches: e.g. ethics training. No further personal growth opportunities after 5 years there.

Cons

You will not get sent to the conferences you need to stay current and ahead of the competition. First-level managers ran the gamut from backstabbers who make you take their falls, to spineless sweethearts who will not stand up for you. My second-level manager was horribly overscheduled, and had less time than usual for open door meeting.

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
