      Pros

      People are generally impressed when they hear you work for NASA. Unless they have worked for NASA before or know about the engineering industry

      Cons

      Most people come here to end their careers. It is slow. Most people are either lazy or generally incompetent. It's no secret NASA doesn't attract the brightest talent.

      Pros

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

      Cons

      Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
