Pros

The work life balance at NASA is incredible. In the branches where I have worked, creativity is fostered, and the people are good to one another.

Cons

Money. The salary is low for a comparable job, but more than that, funding is hard to get in the federal government. Some projects flounder and die from being starved to death.
