Pros

There are still a lot of nice people working here.

Cons

NSF is in the toilet. It used to be a nice place to work (although it has always had a factory mindset). Now they are trying to blow up the whole company, re-working it to how the HR people think it should be run. This is bottom line a science company, and HR and management don't seem to understand that. Our group was working better and more efficiently than we have ever done before, and we were very profitable. Now its just a mess. The thing I really can't forgive them for is laying off so many good people in the middle of a pandemic - they absolutely did not need to do this during this last year, when everyone was struggling and it will be almost impossible for people to find new jobs. So much for caring about its people (which they claim to do). They really don't care at all. We are all burnt out and discouraged. I think one of the recent reviews says it best: "Leadership in complete denial about a transformation that has destroyed morale and trust."

Pros

The most supportive place I've ever worked. From my coworkers to the management team, I am continously grateful for this positive, collaborative work environment.

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about working here. NSF is high on my list of blessings in my life.

Pros

Work is interesting, people are great except for senior leadership. Work can be monotonous but there is opportunity for some cross training which helps; middle management is great for the most part

Cons

Pay is below average for industry and there is a huge range in pay for people doing the exact same work; promotions are difficult to receive - we shouldn't have to interview for promotions. Employees should have the opportunity to be promoted just based off merit and experience; "hybrid" work model forced upon employees when jobs can be done remotely; lack of care for employees from senior leadership
