Pros

Not exactly cutting edge technology but I work with some really smart people and have learned a lot over the last few years. The pay is on par for the Seattle area and the work/life balance respected. Whlie management can sometimes have their head in the clouds regarding the current state of things, I have to say everyone has been fair. Overtime is expected when things are behind but this isn't different from any other shop.

Cons

Defense spending is down and there aren't a lot of places to go in the company right now.

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
