Pros

good work environment, nice people, conducive for research, healthy atmosphere, improving everyday both in terms of research opportunities and increase in industrial collaboration

Cons

The biggest problem is certainly the insanely low salary, I met with some people who are senior scientists working for more than 5 years and yet get salaries lower than many freshers working in companies in the area

Pros

Training and development opportunities are good. Can travel around the country and work with great people at the NASA centers. Orion and SLS development is in work, but the funding is insufficient to complete them anytime soon.

Cons

Funding has declined and we lack a mission since the retirement of the Space Shuttle. Brain drain is having a major impact on the Agency.
