      Good for entry to mid level analyst, once you get to senior and want to go higher you have to get out!

      Pros

      Work/life balance, vacation time, management flexibility for family situations, lots of training opportunities, 4 week vacation time, 13 days sick leave.

      Cons

      Too many people with nothing to do, solidly entrenched government employee mentality, no bonus potential, raises dependent on archaic system of years of experience and not on merit.

      Great place to work if you can handle the desert life.

      Pros

      Amazing opportunities are possible at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. Management is great at getting good people on the projects or positions they want to be in. Working hands on with airplanes is a unique experience and will excite any aerospace fan.

      Cons

      The remoteness of the location is a huge downside of NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. The drive out into the desert every day takes a toll on you, plus the surrounding areas to live in are not ideal choices for most people.

      Pros

      Interesting work, interest in space exploration, every day work is varied, opportunity to work on many different projects, satisfaction in seeing vehicles and payloads launched in space.

      Cons

      After many years, kind of get "pigeon holed". Progress is dependent on the actions of the president and congress. This causes impacts to schedule and advancement.
