Pros

Phenomenal workforce. Everyone believes in the mission and is dedicated to their job.

Cons

Not the best pay or benefits, especially if you are a contractor and not civil servant, which a majority of NASA’s workforce is. The rotating shift work as a flight controller is hard especially if you have kids.

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

Cons

Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
