Pros

NASA has really embraced the telework environment and has provided their employees a better work life balance. Also you get to work for NASA! Very fun projects and you feel like the contributions you are making are morally good.

Cons

The contractors do most of the work, most NASA employees are more like project managers than engineers. Sometimes you feel redundant

Pros

Projects are exciting. The work itself is engaging. Good safety culture.

Cons

No room for growth. Management only seems to care about business, and not the operations crew. Salary is a comedic for this area. Standardized documentation and procedures are lacking. Implementing change or requesting to use current "industry standard" software is a large challenge. Benefits are okay, but not as great as most people assume.
