      Pros

      The work accomplished at NASA is extremely unique and unmatched to a large degree. It isn't very hard to find work which is both interesting and unique. The job positions are very stable and the benefits are good.

      Cons

      The yearly budget cycle in Washington DC messes with the organization. Projects can be impacted from a cost and schedule perspective merely because the Congress hasn't acted. Also, the promotion path is geared heavily away from technical areas. Technical promotion paths are difficult to establish and pursue. Pay could be better.

      Pros

      Excellent opportunity to work directly with the scientists, principal investigators, the Colonels, and program managers. The team of FTEs and contractors collaborated to deliver the most efficient and effective service for the tax payer.

      Cons

      Some internal cross-management egos. Benefits were fine.
