The best people I know, doing hard jobs
The best people I know, doing hard jobs
Literally everyone in my org of >50 people is both competent and pleasant to work with, and I've never experienced that in other jobs.
My supervisors are incredible, supportive people.
I can see and be reminded on a regular basis of how my work helps humankind and inspires future generations.
Maxi-flex hours.
Good vacation time benefits.
Federal politics. Not having enough people or Congressional funding for the work. Pressure from the top and external sources to meet unrealistic deadlines that are currently inflexible about work location.
Push back more often. We do so much work to create strong options that balance technically-grounded solutions with politically-palatable solutions. And it is utterly frustrating when something else, like SLS, entirely gets picked for solely political reasons.

They asked me a lot of personal and technical questions and had a design challenge for me. I enjoyed it, yet it was so serious. I think you need to prepare extensively, depending on the title you have applied for.

It was hard, but I got through it. I remembered my training and kept on working! Would definitely recommend to anyone passionate for exploration and pushing tech to its bleeding edge.

Unfortunately, I do not know if I've been hired. But the interview was fairly short and simple; there is nothing to be nervous about. They do offer flexible interview dates to suit your schedule.
