I have worked for several other large organizations, I found NASA to be the
worst. Recall two commissions have found a problem with NASA's culture.
Perhaps the problems is work place bullies. It is certainly worth a look at
in my opinion.

I dont know Ive always felt NASA's culture, although its always viewed as
being this oddly unique thing, can actually be found in any large organisation
that has an engineering or technical focus that involves a level of non
technical decision making.

because that will always produce a conflict where an issue that has to be
resolved technically, has to be decided by someone whose view might well be
more focussed on a balance sheet or a delivery date than why x is really such
a big problem

the difference with NASA is their mistakes make headline news , in a large
business the same kind of cultural mistake occuring might just blip the share
price for a day or two.
