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.

Pros

Cool work, with one of a kind opportunities to be part of space exploration. Lots of education reimbursement benefits. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Slow and bureaucratic, with many "lifers" unwilling to work. Innovation and youthful enthusiasm are blunted at every turn. Reliance on congressional funding cycles makes work choppy and disjointed. No connection to final product and no PROFIT MOTIVATION.
