NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Leadership Employee Reviews
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Loyal and honest for sure.
They want you to grow
They listen and are responsive.
Nothing as leaders. I respect them as technical folks.

They prioritize downward communication often
Review from Engineering Dept
They include experts and listen to people.
They care about the people and the mission.
Review from Engineering Dept
Most seem to listen but still make decisions based on company need
There are a good number of women on the leadership team.
They do try to listen, though not always successfully.
Review from Engineering Dept
There is not much I can say. They have nice smiles?
They are tone deaf and don't use data to make decisions.
The projects we do are amazing, but it is a lot of stress.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listening and better telework policies and parental leave.
Pay us better. I know JPL can't do stock options - but we can do better at health and retirement benefits.
They treat ppl. without respect. Transparency rarely visible. Too much politics. Not much career advancement opportunities.
Review from Engineering Dept
Pay closer attention to inter-working of the laboratory instead of all the focus on bureaucracy. For the 20 years that I have had the pleasure of working there, I've noticed more red-tapes than less!
