Pros

The flexibility and flex Friday are great. I can always come earlier to work and move my week hours however I want. For example, if I want to work 12 hours one day and leave earlier on Thursday or Friday that's an option. Management does not care as long as I complete tasks on time.

Cons

There are no diverse options for employee development. If you want to aim higher, you can only evolve into project-management positions. Since the JETS II contract is a government service, do not expect good salaries. If you want to earn good money, your only option is to become a senior project manager. The benefits are fine. They can solely hire you for a specific project, and then the next year NASA won't approve a budget for the project so they will likely move you to a project that you won't enjoy. Projects are always being impacted by NASA budgetary problems, so they will move you around a lot.

Pros

Very good at compensating their employees for good work. Good benefits, lots of flexibility, and always looking to promote and give raises to those who are going above and beyond.

Cons

The HR is not great, but no worse than any large company with multiple job sites.

Pros

Unlimited PTO is ok, but if you are too busy to tke it, you can't.

Cons

This companies upper management is totally self absorbed. THey give themselves bonuses, yet the working professionals do not. They constantly tout they've values, but NEVER follow them themselves. Hypocrites.
