Pros

good work environment, nice people, conducive for research, healthy atmosphere, improving everyday both in terms of research opportunities and increase in industrial collaboration

Cons

The biggest problem is certainly the insanely low salary, I met with some people who are senior scientists working for more than 5 years and yet get salaries lower than many freshers working in companies in the area

Pros

NASA is an incredible place to work. DFRC is like a family and I feel like part of it. I get to work on very interesting and innovative research while being exposed to some incredible things very few others have seen.

Cons

This is the US Government and with that comes the pace at which Government operations take place sometimes.

Pros

You get to work on innovative, cutting edge, out of this world projects. You get to work with the smartest people. Flexibility in the workplace to help you with life/work balance. Diversity minded and acceptance.

Cons

With decreasing government budget, projects get cut. Management is rewarded for being "yes" people. So there is limited progress in some areas. Need better control of outreach products.
