Pros

9/80 schedule Nice IT equipment

Cons

- PTO is laughable (>10 days in your first year) - No sick days and NGC didn’t increase PTO rate when they previously nixed sick days a couple years ago. - Upward mobility. I was a former military logistics officer and was promised to get exposure to other entities on the project. There was none. The entire organization is very siloed and disconnected. - No employee amenities. It took 1.5 years for me to complain enough just to get benches in the courtyard. - Employee medical accommodations, b/c of the various DoD customers, if you need a medical device (yes, including a pacemaker) good luck on getting it approved. - Company COVID policies place the burden on employees. They encourage sick people to come to work as they are faced with whether or not they can afford to lose all of their PTO for the year. - Annual salary increases are not financially viable. If you are one of the company’s very top performers you are looking at a max 4% raise. Meaning that unless you are in the top 10% of a 100k+ company, you are probably looking at 2-3% a year. Ergo, with inflation, NGC expects you to do the same job for a rate that doesn’t keep up on inflation.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
