Amazing group who will do anything to assist.

Highly talented and kind teammates.

Having worked here for almost a decade, I have yet to meet even one person who I found unpleasant. People will disagree, sometimes heatedly, but I feel that I have been treated with disrespect very rarely, and usually as the result of a misunderstanding.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Though JPL has made big strides forwards, it still has a relatively old work-force. This not only makes it harder for younger employees to achieve promotions, it also sets the organization up for severe staffing issues as established employees retire.
