Pros

Completely professional staff, collegial atmosphere and work that impacts the world - our Earth, humanity and everything that lives on it, in a very real way. Easy time management, dedicated colleagues Smart, well educated group of people working for peanuts when they could literally cross the street and get quadruple pay and outlandish benefits. But this work is WAY more important than 98% of what happens in the valley, and the people who do it, know it. Really refreshing place to be.

Cons

Best government job ever, but still a government job. None of the SV perks, lower pay, too much paper work for normal activities.

They tend to have managers who were engineers. And, "we're going to the freakin Moon!"

Cons

Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
