Pros

Work as much as you want or as little as you want. The meaningful work is always there to pickup and make yourself useful to many.

Cons

The best talent in 21st century aerospace is trending away from government and toward private sector.

Pros

Very academic/research-heavy work environment, and fascinating projects.

Cons

Tech stack can be quite outdated. We mostly use C++ for infra and Python for DS/ML work, but a huge portion of geolocation code was written decades ago in Fortran and understand it is very difficult since oftentimes there's minimal documentation.
