Business Outlook

Pros

Great laid back and relaxed attitude. Very educated and bright people to talk to at lunch about various topics. The background of various employees make things interesting.

Cons

There's not too many cons working at JPL. Since it is a research and development institution funded by the government, it's very hard to keep a job you like here given the budget cuts

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work hours. Good benefits. Family Oriented. Telecommuting.

Cons

Some organizations have too many reviews. Technology development has been ignored recently and some very good people have been let go (it is the same for all NASA now). Budget uncertainty from year to year because of the political football that is NASA. Some managers have no business being managers because they can't delegate (this is true across NASA).
