Pros

I work on air traffic management research, which is fascinating and important stuff that you can't work on in many other places. Given lots of freedom to try explore new approaches. Stable employment - not hard to get the equivalent of tenure. They support me to do grad school part-time at Stanford, which has been a blast. Good benefits. Awesome work-life balance. Very understanding/supportive of parents.

Cons

In the area I work (air traffic management) it is difficult to actually change the system. Not really NASA's fault, but still a bummer. Pay is not great, and promotions hard to come by at higher levels.
