Bewertungen für NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Pros

Great work being done here. Love working with such intelligent engineers. The environment is lovely and has a college feel to it.

Kontras

To much management (top heavy). They need to get rid of current HR staff and start from scratch. Hiring practices are unethical and reflects preferential treatment towards specific ethnic backgrounds.

Rat an das Management

There are employees who still come in and perform above what is required. Just because they've been with the company over 10 years doesn't mean they don't have anything to offer. Stop taking advantage of employees (contractors as well). Cut down on the nepotism, preferential treatment when it comes to hiring.

Pros

University-like atmosphere, knowledgeable colleagues, a variety of different projects and positions with a lot of movement for people every few years, excellent pay and benefits (especially for government-like work)

Kontras

Some project phases require long hours (but the reward is worth it!)

Rat an das Management

Keep developing people as leaders, and not just engineers, and the workforce will continue to get even stronger.

Pros

- 9/80 schedule means every other Friday off - Great colleagues - Stable position - Interesting work

Kontras

- Parking is absolutely horrible - Slow to adopt modern perks (e.g. telecommute) - Salary not competitive relative to private companies, although the work/life balance somewhat makes up for this - Contract changes meaning more NASA oversight, for better or worse - Hard to retain younger talent due to older ways of doing things

Rat an das Management

Be quicker in recognizing what's happening in industry

Pros

working on crazy awesome stuff like spacecrafts that could go to other planets or cutting edge robots, people are cool and smart and interesting and enjoy talking about their work, hours are reasonable, the cafeteria is not horrible (not great either)

Kontras

public job so there's a lot of hoops to jump though to buy stuff, pay isn't great

Pros

Great culture. Awesome access to experts in every field.

Kontras

Slow process sometimes due to government run institution

Pros

You can be part of amazing project that aren't done anywhere else in the world. Lots of mobility between different projects and roles so that you are constantly learning new skills and working on new challenges.

A large organization where things sometimes take longer than they should.

Pros

Multicultural, open mind people, exciting projects, continuous learning, great environment

Kontras

I don’t really have cons

Pros

One of the best places in the world to learn about aerospace and engineering.

Low pay and management is extremely political.
