my co workers make fun of me for beign a nerd
The permissive leadership style was a double-edged sword. The downside is that it created a lack of accountability and made it easy for people to disregard work that needed to be done. This created an environment where all the hard work/tough problems were never getting fixed
Review from Engineering Dept
I have some coworkers who are wonderful, but it is the idiots who are rewarded. No one knows why. If the human resources were run like industry, NASA would retain its superstars, and be the phenomenal place to work, just like in the 60s and 80s
Review from Engineering Dept

results of goals and safety
Safety is the first priority.

Less competition between employees and need more of a team culture.
change all change all or just do nothing
Review from Engineering Dept
Managers who can't cope with working mothers in the work force should be forced to leave. Women can work from home 75% of the time, and still accomplish great things.

What did you like most about the interview process?
I don't remember much about interviewing since I started working as a graduate student with NASA and they extended a job offer before I graduated.
It was stressful but worth it.
The donuts were a great
The opportunity to interact with future peers.
Review from IT Dept
Multiple interviews with multiple levels of peers and managers gave me a 360 view of various people i would be working with on various projects.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
they ask us questions! so unfair
Not hire based on who they know.
What makes you most happy at work?
Respect and support for my work
problem solution with adequate safety
Learning new experiences at work.
most happy to say then
Creating something that will be there after i'm long gone.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The wrong people are being allowed to be the face of NASA to industry and to other space agencies. Someone needs to clean house, and put the people who are waiting in the wings in place of the people who should be gone, before they are stolen by industry.
