Pros
-Bragging rights: No other organization in India is trying to do what this is. Built around a focussed objective and a destination (the moon), one gets to play a crucial role as a part of something big and revolutionary out of India. -Exposure: Derivation of the first point, you get to experience how many many aspects of a complicated system fit together to build one system. Regardless of your role, you have access to all parts of the mission. This also builds one's cross-border affiliations and networks. - Stand on the shoulders of giants themselves: One gets to work with veterans of ISRO, guys who have been critical since Aryabhatta to Chandrayaan to MOM. -Dynamic: New roles, new responsibilities, new sub projects and new things to learn frequently. - Accessibility: One can literally walk up to any person in any department guided by any expert and inquire, volunteer, learn and develop. - Flexibility: Pick the kind of work you want, go ahead and deliver. Team and management are quite accommodating and considerate. -Forgiving: It is understood and acknowledged, not all come with great experience for a work profile like this. There is space to fumble, learn and deliver. -Extensive visibility: As a nature of this mission there is constant exposure to the outside world be it through social media, written or even televised, and since one plays a relatively big and unique role you get to showcase your work. -others: relatively flexible work hours, steep learning curve, friendly team, not a cut throat competition, ownership (you own what you deliver).
Cons
-Still trying to establish a long-term business roadmap. Things are still a bit fluid. This leads to a few hiccups and relatively frequent changes in short-term deliverables (expected during establishment of an organization with goals like this).
