What does your work day look like ? Do you have project managers ? Do you work on exciting things ? I'm curious to know (Especially if you work at NASA !)

It all depends on where you are. Some areas will be like a nursing home with no work to do, others will be high energy and often doing interesting work.

You need to be able to suck it up and deal with the Byzantine bureaucracy and thought process.
