Pros

Cool projects you get to work on.

Cons

No support from management. No structure. No plan for how to onboard or task employees. They get upset with employees for not doing work correctly but never communicate feedback, or avoid communicating expectations completely. I was dropped off and basically had to sink or swim. Trying to establish communication or tasking plans just upset the NASA side. I was never given enough work to do. Was constantly moved around to other teams or projects because there was little work. Was constantly given false promises of projects or work situations. I would often ask for help or advice and was always ignored and blamed for problems for being early career. One time when I was seeking help my nasa team lead started crying then told me they were planning to fire me when they weren’t. NASA side would promise they cared about you and wanted to help you but they really don’t.
