Pros

NASA is an prestigious company. It has a great research campus and it feels great to go to work every day. There are guest speakers every wednesday. There is also a gym and beach volleyball courts.

Cons

The time scale for a lot of projects is very long: 10-15 years, so there is no sense of urgency. The pay is not the best, there is a very low salary ceiling.

Pros

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

Cons

Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
