Pros

You get paid, not much else

Cons

The management have their heads in the clouds and have no idea of the market place. People dont take responsibility for their work and no one enforces any sort of discipline. Payrises have been frozen for 3 years and the misguided sales team mean that the company will be shut down in next year or so once head office realise there is no money to be made...

Pros

Jacobs Technology serves the Johnson Space Center area therefore you get the indirect benefit of having stable work hours. While not the best pay in the world for an engineer, the work life balance makes up for the low pay.

Cons

Again, Jacobs Technology serves the Johnson Space Center area therefore you get the annual worry about the government budget and how it will impact the projects originating from Johnson Space Center. You definitely will not be getting rich or have long term employment at the same company as the contacts are re-competed every 4 to 5 years.
