      Great history, questionable future.

      Pros

      Working space missions, contributing to exploration. Doing a job that few people have the honor to do. Work-life balance is excellent.

      Cons

      Questionable future for NASA, at least for human spaceflight. NASA will probably continue with robotics, but human spaceflight will likely transition to the private sector like the airline industry. It is unfortunate that an agency such as NASA has become a toy for all politicians.

      Pros

      People are very smart and fun to work with. There are interesting projects to work on. Civil servants receive vacation time and sick leave. The sick leave days don't expire. There's a decent fitness center open for several hours five days a week.

      Cons

      There is still a lack of diversity in the engineering and science organizations which isn't unusual for the Silicon Valley Area. It's not easy to transfer to different organizations to work on different projects or to experience some career broadening.
