Pros

NASA is a very prestigious company. The research they perform there is cutting-edge. It was a great opportunity to get research experience and work with some very brilliant minds.

Cons

The downside to NASA's research facilities is that the buildings and equipment are old. I had the opportunity to tour HP Labs while I worked at NASA and the facilities there are much more modern.

Pros

The Cafe was subsidized. That was the only benefit at working at NASA Ames.

Cons

I worked in the Accounting department for 6 months and it was terrible. The only people that really working were the external contractors. Other employees where very slow on accepting new processes and systems. The building was extremely old and you had to PAY to use the microwave and to drink from the watercooler. This place was extremely depressing.
