Business outlook
Pros
The employees at NASA are all there to help you grow. Nobody hesitates to chip in when you are stuck or offer their advice. You get to work with some of the best, brightest minds in the country. Great work/life balance. Pay is a bit lower than industry, but job security is strong.
Cons
This is the government, so the typical government bureaucracy is expected. It can take a long time for things to change, especially since the average age of the NASA workforce is quite a bit older than other places. Also, the mission can change with each new president, but that's not really in NASA's control.
