      Interesting Work, But Limited Opportunities

      Engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Never the same day twice. The people can be wonderful. Steady work unless there is a government shutdown.

      Cons

      Typically very low salary compared to other industries/companies. Very limited opportunities for career growth especially for contractors. Some groups have very poor leadership.

      NASA cool, desert not

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      History of Aeronautics Research ; The RIGHT stuff CIF grant programs are not very competitive meaning easy to nab research funds Because of the aging workforce (mean age 55) there is a lot of opportunity for growth for the young employees Small center means you know most people after a few years. LA is an hour away from the suburbs so weekend fun

      Cons

      Government GS pay scale is limiting compared to commercial pay. Only aeronautics Little work in Space related projects, mostly aeronautics. AFRC has early all its eggs in one basket: Aeronautics, at the expense of investing in the commercial space boom. Aging workforce with a mean age of 55, can’t keep young people. Can you say death spiral? Bad location (see below): Unbearable location in the summer: over 100 F frequently Poor housing conditions for high cost: high cost of living but low standard of living. Californian politics, taxes, homelessness, trash in local parks.
