Pros

Pay and exciting mission. Enjoy touring different work areas and meeting some of the employees, particularly scientists.

Cons

Scientists and other professionals are not treated as equals by engineers, particularly those who graduated from Auburn. Some of the other professions required just as much, if not more study and research than engineers. Yet, engineers are the only employees who are valued, and they bully all the other professionals.

They tend to have managers who were engineers. And, "we're going to the freakin Moon!"

Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
