Pros

The work at NASA is interesting and it's awesome to work on heritage US space hardware with such a rich history. The culture is for the most part cooperative and a joy for real engineering work, however, working with some of the federal groups can be painfully political.

Cons

The pay is average/below average and inflation has exacerbated this issue. Health care is also a real injustice to the contractor workforce working on such an important program.

Pros

Most of the people are wonderful. There is a good amount of independence which comes with a lock of oversight.

Cons

Very poorly managed by higher-ups. They can’t budget - Salaries reflect this. Petty politics are constantly being played. The SMEs are staffed by other sub contractors. They’ll promote from within, but only to title, not compensation.
