Pros

It's NASA. People think you do something cool and must be super smart to work there.

Cons

Contractors are 3rd class citizens. There is a mountain of red tape to get ANYTHING done. Buildings are old and ugly. No central air conditioning. No freebies. Expensive food that is horrible. NASA police likes to give tickets for every little thing.
