Pros
Ames has a casual work environment and people always think it's cool when you say you work at NASA. Work life balance is generally easy to obtain.
Cons
You'll probably end up working on a lot of canceled projects. Also, it's not that great for moving around and advancing as you get pigeon-holed pretty quickly. A lot of people have been there for way too long. Half the workforce is contractor-based which leads to confusing relationships between employees.
