Pros

Forefront of launching rockets into space. Close proximity to amazing technologies. Great benefits and time off.

Cons

Generally slow-paced and bureaucratic, limited growth and lacking incentives compared to private companies. Still an aging workforce.

Pros

-There is a wide variety of interesting and unique projects to work on -Relaxed atmosphere -Nice co-workers

Cons

-Government pay -There are definitely some smart people, but let's be honest, most people here do not strive to be exceptional, in part because it's nearly impossible to get fired. -Massive incompetence in management - both from a technical standpoint and a human interface standpoint. -Exceptional achievement *might* get you an award but nothing else (e.g. no bonus)
