      Great resources, limited opportunity to grow

      Summer intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Best resources, best learning tools, great/friendly people, flexible hours, great facility. The baby boomers will be retiring soon so NASA will be looking to hire younger people. Also, there are many opportunities available for young professionals to develop from NASA's online class databse to instructors that teach weekly seminars on powerpoint, excel, etc.

      Cons

      Poor compensation, the work is not challenging enough, the projects can be boring, and the efficiency at which people work is extremely slow (especially when compared to private sector counterparts).

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is great to work somewhere that makes a difference. NASA is trying to make the world a better place to live. The opportunities to make a significant difference are emence

      Cons

      I would say that the only down side is that the reward system is limited by law. The opportunities to advance are difficult and time consuming.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work can be rewarding. Work schedule is very flexible, pay and overall benifits are very good. Job security is very good.

      Cons

      NASA, as a goverment agency is politically motivated and manipulated. As a result Vision, Goal, and Policy can wander. Budget is not realistice to accomplish goals creating unrealistic expectations.
