      You'd better like doing what you're originally hired to do.

      Pros

      -You get to tell people you work at NASA -Excellent job security -Fairly flexible hours -The benefits are fairly good

      Cons

      -Moving from one organization to another is nearly impossible, so if you don't like what you're doing, you're stuck with it -Miles of red tape to get anything done -Pay is sub-par for an engineering job in Silicon Valley

      Pros

      The Cafe was subsidized. That was the only benefit at working at NASA Ames.

      Cons

      I worked in the Accounting department for 6 months and it was terrible. The only people that really working were the external contractors. Other employees where very slow on accepting new processes and systems. The building was extremely old and you had to PAY to use the microwave and to drink from the watercooler. This place was extremely depressing.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Intellectually stimulating work environment, flexible hours, relaxed dress code, opportunity to work on cutting-edge space science and research and build systems that will be used on future space missions.

      Cons

      It's a government job and pays like a government job. Not the place to work if you need to support a family.
