NASA - A Bright Spot

Pros

If someone decides to be a civil servant, this is the agency to consider. NASA does so much for this country and the planet! Their plate is full of science that contributes to society as a whole.

Cons

Sometimes there are too many overlapping efforts at the centers across the country. But NASA is so big that it is hard to figure out exactly what is being done everywhere and staff at centers are protected by the political process.
