Vantaggi

Most engineers are really smart, and friendly/easy to work with. Pay is slightly higher than other aero companies in the area

Svantaggi

First line managers are doing their best with what they get, but senior management does not understand a thing that we’re doing at the bottom line. They keep adding new senior VPs and managers hoping that it’ll fix the problems. Nope. So much attrition. More than any company I know in Seattle. It’s ridiculous. I always dreamt of blue as a dream company, but as I’ve worked here I’ve realized it seems like that from the outside only. The equity plan is worthless. It’s the opposite of equity. The current CEO has now lost all of the major government contracts, we’ve pushed all of our program schedules out. Slowest decision making I’ve seen at any aerospace company. Significant technical debt results in tons of rework and more complex solutions later on. Super frustrating.

Vantaggi

4 weeks of PTO, good benefits, free drinks and snacks available at all locations.

Svantaggi

Leadership is inconsistent and often incompetent, company is very segmentalized and each group operates to different goals and schedules, poor communication with other parts of the company and with leadership. There is an overarching Yes-men mentality amongst leadership, and they often are just aiming to not be the group to be to blame for delays or failures. Personal growth is limited and widely ranges between different groups, there are areas where people see regular raises and promotions, while the majority seems to be told there are freezes or that they will be put in for next cycle. Pay has fallen behind, in the past they used to pay well and above the industry standard, but have not kept pace. Hours can be very long, again dependent on your group, some people may enjoy things like work from home or flexible schedules, but the majority are asked to work long hours and even support roles that could be remote are forced to be on site, despite a lack of space for the number of employees. I moved desks locations and buildings 6 times in 3 years. Re-orgs happen every 6 months, and create significant instability within the company, but rarely bring positive improvements. Good talent is not rewarded, and leaving quickly.
