Pros

Training and development opportunities are good. Can travel around the country and work with great people at the NASA centers. Orion and SLS development is in work, but the funding is insufficient to complete them anytime soon.

Cons

Funding has declined and we lack a mission since the retirement of the Space Shuttle. Brain drain is having a major impact on the Agency.

Pros

NASA Johnson Space Center is the "Houston" in the quote "Houston we have a problem." As the leader in human space flight, I work everyday to space travel safe and productive for our brave astronauts. The work that we do also provides great benefit to life here on Earth. Further, I am surrounded by brilliant and motivated colleagues. JSC also makes it easy to work there with flexible schedules, teleworking capability, on-site daycare and fitness center, and their Employee Assistance Program to name a few.

Cons

NASA Johnson Space Center is a federal agency and, as such, is directly impacted by the politics of the nation.

Pros

NASA Ames lives up to it's bay area culture. The center strives to be cutting edge, controversial, and exciting.

Cons

Ames is not well suited for the conservative individual who requires a high degree of structure and tradition.
