Pros

Some of the best reasons to work at NASA is the level of pride that employees there have in carrying on a name that has piloted the way for many in the technological field. NASA has a tradition of guiding there interns with real world work and experience that prepares you for what ever your field of study.

Cons

One of the cons to interning at NASA is the process of permanent employment. The process is done through their pathways program via USAJobs.gov. Veterans Preference is prioritized and its really difficult for a college student to compete with someone who has military training and experience.
