Pros

Working for the largest aerospace company in the world is pretty cool. The company is highly respected. The company offers good benefits in my opinion and if you're interested in pursuing an advanced degree the company's tuition reimbursement process is great!

Cons

From what I've read aerospace industry tends to pay on the lower side for business people compared to financial or health care. If you're an engineer of course it's a different story. Salary increases are marginal at best and promotions tend to be few and far between. Frustration with lack of upward mobility definitely has me considering other companies. Pensions are no longer offered but that also seems to be trend now for many large companies. There's bureaucracy so learning how to navigate this would be to your advantage.

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
