Pros

Great people to be around, adequate facilities and funding (when I was there), flexible work schedule. A large amount of high quality research being done by peers created an inspiring atmosphere

Cons

Lots of red tape, unnecessary paperwork, government hoops to jump through when trying to advance projects. Not that much interaction between different subgroups other than very very large center-wide seminars

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
