No doubt, the exploration, the hardware, the scientific wonder, there's only one place like this. The rank and file are some of the brightest minds, they have passion and they love the community and love to help. There is a sense of we're in this together, and it is uplifting.
Management is slowly transforming this into just another tech operation. Metrics aren't shared, decisions are made based on in-transparent data in a top-down mindset. Proclamations of we are a family, all-the-while there's little room for growth in entrenched structures, subpar compensation, and now the reality of layoffs due to government shutdowns. IC's passions for their projects are ruthlessly exploited, because where else will they go to work on these challenges. The shine is wearing off, and there's a long way to go to recapture what used to inspire us.
No idea what a senior scientist does but I am thinking something equivalent of what we expect from a senior dev. Try to see the comp comparison assuming that nasa is the pinnacle of scientist employment like MAANG is for tech
