      Pros

      Plenty of Interesting and challenging problems to tackle, fair amount of autonomy, one of a kind test facilities, plus opportunities to work on real flight missions or influence FAA decisions, plus you get to say you work for NASA.

      Cons

      Up against bureaucracy and a fair amount of paperwork, some facilities/buildings are dated, no typical silicon valley perks (free food, etc), limited to the government pay scale (not necessarily completely adjusted for cost of living in CA).

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Tremendous people who care deeply about spaceflight. A wide variety of interesting work. Good benefits (pension! for now) and work/life balance. Collaborative and inclusive work environment.

      Cons

      At the mercy of congressional budget cycles. Large organization with a lot of bureaucracy, procurement processes are a nightmare. Wide variances in quality of different Divisions. Slow pace of progress. Difficult to be hired as a civil servant outside the co-op process.
