Overall Reviews at NASA

Engineering Program Manager | Center, TX | Jun 29, 2021
Fun and Exciting, New Opportunities Regularly
Lots of project and program exposure. Safety focused almost too risk adverse to the point you wonder how anything gets done. Gone are the days where it was ok for a man to raise his hand, strap into a rocket chair on railroad tracks and break the sound barrier in the name of science knowing the cost could be human life. All in the pursuit of knowledge.
ProsCan be exciting
ConsThe best engineers and scientists are too awkward to have a conversation with

Administrative Coordinator | Houston, TX | Sep 26, 2020
It’s nasa
NASA is wonderful but you MUST know the right people and pick your battles wisely or you can be threatened (in not so many words) to be replaced. Certain contractors employed by NASA are only in it for their bottom line not the contractee. Do your research on the contractors.
ProsIt’s NASA.
ConsContractor Jobs and security is scary.

N/a
I was a contract worker, and was laid off as part of economic cutbacks. The work atmosphere was good, I enjoyed the job and my colleagues. I would not recommend the contracting company.

Mason | United States | Jul 10, 2020
Very bias
Got to be in the "click", doesn't matter your skill level or work ethics, worked there 18 years and nobody looked out for the good hard working employees, a company who cares for there employees is a lie, they care about making a profit, not a culture of caring

Questions And Answers about NASA

Is it possible to become an astronuat with a PhD degree in astronomy ?
Asked Jun 19, 2017
I would think that it would involve a great deal more before could become a . Once potential astronomers have completed their doctoral degree and finished up all of their internships.NASA looks at what you've done in your chosen field of science, and selects based on your past experience. NASA then trains the astronauts for a couple years, and then allows them to be put on specific missions.

Need more than that to make it to space

Why did you leave your job at NASA?
Asked Mar 24, 2017
Relocation
Answered Oct 19, 2017
Due to health issues. My wife required several doctor visits weekly at times. She was unable to drive which required me to be available at any time.

What is the work environment and culture like at NASA?
Asked Aug 2, 2016
Overall at the Johnson Space Center the environment was laid back with its own security force. Tours and activities are ongoing from annual hot air balloons to astronauts training. Super cool once in a lifetime experiences while life sciences and telemetry communications with the international space station are continuing. The only knock would be poor supervisors and how contracts are either renewed or awarded. Definitely worth applying and being a part of Team Nasa.
Answered Dec 27, 2018
Long hours, interesting work and ability to meet many different people from all walks of life. Opportunities to advance and learn new aspects of the aerospace industry.

What benefits does NASA offer?
Asked Aug 2, 2016
None to interns. Lump sum monetary compensation split into three disbursements over the summer.
Answered Jun 10, 2017
A mid career (10-15 year) professional can earn up to 26 days of PTO per year PLUS many federal holidays. This is a fantastic benefit for anyone with family demands. Industry PTO is typically 10-14 days in comparison, but industry salaries can be a little higher by comparison.
