Pros

Healthcare and retirement benefits are fantastic

Cons

Management is stuck in the past and very much a “good ole boys” club where if you do not fit their ideal view of a worker drone who asks no questions, then you are treated poorly. In my years with the company, I saw and heard discrimination and openly negative comments about the following protected classes from several levels of employees (including leadership who had been with the company for decades): race, gender, sexual orientation, and people with disabilities. Training is 100% nonexistent. For the first year I was with the company, the only training I got was my boss (and his boss after I asked for futher guidance) telling me to look on the internal drive for something to do and if I don’t know how to do it then to ask questions. Then when I asked questions I was told to figure it out because they didn’t have time. By the time I resigned it was clear that there was no level of respect across the company, either for leadership or from leadership, and that there was no level of accountability for managers and their poor behavior. Then add the fact that the company has been losing money for half a decade leading to low (or no) raises and bonuses, with the exception of executives who get golden parachutes for “leading” the company further into the red.

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
