Business Outlook
Pros
The work is on one of the most important scientific and complex systems built by NASA, the Space Shuttle. The work can be challenging but is also on equipment that is now primarily obsolete in the electronic world which has improved its capabilities. The work dealt with Human Space Flight as was extremely critical.
Cons
Compartmentalization was rampant as well as single points of failure. Management was not up to what their own engineers were required to do or required to know. Engineering was primarily ignored when decisions regarding problems needed to be made. Quality standards were lax.
