      Pros

      Its provides a great work environment, the people love their job, and everyone seems to have a thirst for knowledge. Also provides a lot of exposure to different types of research.

      Cons

      While I can't provide many cons I will state that adjusting to the workplace isn't always simple and easy, sometimes you are thrown right in. Yet again the different personalities makes the transition a whole lost easier.

      Pros

      Number one thing going for Ames and NASA in general is the variety of interesting projects that you don't find at other organizations. If you've been working here for a while you have lots of flexibility to work on roles outside your comfort zone. If you're a space buff this is definitely a place to work, at least for a while.

      Cons

      Some may consider the laid back atmosphere a pro, but in my opinion the organization could be SO much more if the culture was more vibrant. The compensation is definitely lower than industry. As with any big organization, there are lots of unjustified promotions based on politics rather than ability. If you're interested in developing your technical skills to be industry-ready, this is probably not the place for you.
