Pros

NASA rated the top agency to work for in the federal government, and JSC rated in about the top ten places to work n the entire government. Located in the southeast suburbs of Houston in/near several great school districts and with lots of good neighborhoods so commutes can be short..

Cons

Being government, there can be extra bureacracy, and there's some degree of stress over what the budget may be next year and after that. It's a mix of civil service employees and aerospace and other companies' employees, and sometimes there's confusion or even jealousy about roles

They tend to have managers who were engineers. And, "we're going to the freakin Moon!"

Cons

Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
