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.

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.

Pros

great work environment, great people, great projects. an excellent organization in general to work for and i highly reccomend it for scientists/engineers.

Cons

sometimes too much bureacratic mismanagement to complete a task...if there is more opportunity to try and do actions on you own, this would improve the work process.
