Pros

Good benefits, diverse culture. New grads might consider working there a few years to add a major corporation to their resume and leverage education benefits.

Cons

The Information Technology (IT) organization is under constant pressure to reduce cost. This has become so extreme that most folks are struggling just to keep antiquated technologies and applications running. There is very little new development happening, and when it is needed, there is rarely budget or people talent available to execute. Very sad situation. IT is not a core competency.

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
