      Pros

      I work on air traffic management research, which is fascinating and important stuff that you can't work on in many other places. Given lots of freedom to try explore new approaches. Stable employment - not hard to get the equivalent of tenure. They support me to do grad school part-time at Stanford, which has been a blast. Good benefits. Awesome work-life balance. Very understanding/supportive of parents.

      Cons

      In the area I work (air traffic management) it is difficult to actually change the system. Not really NASA's fault, but still a bummer. Pay is not great, and promotions hard to come by at higher levels.

      Pros

      NASA rated the top agency to work for in the federal government, and JSC rated in about the top ten places to work n the entire government. Located in the southeast suburbs of Houston in/near several great school districts and with lots of good neighborhoods so commutes can be short..

      Cons

      Being government, there can be extra bureacracy, and there's some degree of stress over what the budget may be next year and after that. It's a mix of civil service employees and aerospace and other companies' employees, and sometimes there's confusion or even jealousy about roles
