Pros

-Strong career development opportunities. -The comprehensive benefits are one of the best in the aerospace industry, from my experience working at other companies. -Global impact and opportunities. -Despite the political climate, the company has not disbanded their employee resource groups as some other aerospace companies have. -Unlike some of the competitors, there is an opportunity to work on both commercial and DoD programs. New CEO is making changes so there is a lot of opportunity on the horizon.

Cons

-With the challenges the company has faced in recent years and the layoff's that followed from financial turmoil, many employees don't feel job security. -The recent organizational changes may have an impact on pay and bonuses. -Like many companies in this industry, although there are many locations, if you want to work in a very specific discipline, you have to be open to the possibility of having to work in a less desirable city.

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
