Pros

Pay is decent, have option to work from home, and $10,000 travel stipend is really nice

Cons

You don't have complete freedom to work on topics that interest you. You have to work on what your mentor wants. This is not what a fellowship is supposed to be. Also, you will not get any response when you reach out to someone higher up.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, respectful and team oriented workforce, positive-can do teams. Lots of opportunity for advancement

Cons

Pay tops out at GS15 Step 8 (top 3 pay levels are the same). Hard to have the extra time in the day to get experience in other areas or to broaden experience without officially changing positions. Recent changes at the agency level seem to be moving expertise for engineering out of house to contractors. (not good for NASA)
