Pros

Work life balance Great if you want to coast and have an un-stimulating career while watching non performing good old boys move up.

Cons

Pay is mediocre and raises and promotions suck and are very bureaucratic. They also do lots of layoffs and annual bonus is a joke if you're not an executive. There's no incentives to being a top performer. They have a performance rating system that doesn't guarantee bonus or promotion so you can receive the highest possible performance rating multiple years in a row without getting a promotion or raise while low performers get the exact same raises and promotions and never get fired.

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
