Pros

People really respect your work life balance, and there is lots of interesting history and historical value to working at NASA. There is a culture focused on learning and growing as a researcher.

Cons

Outdated practices, too many layers of beaurocracy, and sometimes lots of patience is required in working with older folks.

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

Cons

Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
