      Pros

      The people here are dedicated professionals, many of whom have worked in the space program for decades. They have a passion for NASA and for space which shows in their attitudes and work.

      Cons

      Change at NASA takes place at a glacial pace. Technical innovation is prized but any other kind of change is frowned upon. Even technical innovation, though valued, takes a long time to implement. Promotions are difficult to come by as the organization is very top heavy with few people interested in retiring.

      Pros

      interesting work. The people are great to work with. Always willing to help and give a hand. The atmosphere is relaxed and there is a good work/life balance.

      Cons

      It is hard to get promoted within engineering. You have to take the administrative route to really get anywhere. Salary is low considering that there are no real bonuses (just some token stuff).
