The dedication and team working environment that is absolutely possible and coveted. It is too often torn apart by incompetent management and office politics. Managers are people at JPL who moved up over the years because of their technical expertise - it does not make them good managers.
We are a bunch of smart and motivated people doing really interesting and valuable work.
Openness and ability to speak your mind without fear of repercussions (losing your job).

People are smart and driven. Even in the face of such adversarial management policies they tackle the science and engineering challenges with motivation, new ideas and hard work.
good balance between experienced people and people newer to the field; fairly good sense of openness between team members (many people seem to feel comfortable expressing concerns, issues, feedback)
We're also friends who generally respect and work well together. We do have some more challenging people to work with though.
