Pros

ESC contract is the engineering contract for NASA Johnson Space Center. If you are lucky, you get to work on pretty cool stuff. It is exciting and challenging with very interesting problems to solve. I really enjoy my time there. People are great and direct line manager is very flexible.

Cons

You can get stuck in a hole where you are too specialized to go anywhere else and your skills can sometimes become obselete. Old people with 1960's mentality sometimes, very hard for generation Y.
