Pros

WLB can be good depending on how well a project is managed Good compensation (for aerospace), benefits are probably one of the best out there Huge diversity of experience because there are so many employees

Cons

No mentorship or training - it's sink or swim Bureaucracy is way too strong and creates unrealistic expectations for people who are tasked w/ executing the work - everyone up and down chain of command trying to keep someone above them happy & stay out of line-of-fire at the expense of people below them No development infrastructure/process - everyone has their own way of doing things and you will inevitably step on toes or sour work relationships trying to make progress or get work done

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
