Pros

Great pay and excellent coworkers, fully remote with lots of opportunity for travel.

Cons

Worked 9 hours every day without a lot of lunch opportunities. Fired a week before the 3 month period after only receiving positive feedback. I was not given a reason for my termination, other than being told "performance issues". I eventually found out through the grape-vine it was because I had a larger salary than some people were comfortable with, likely the person in HR who had the position before me and did a terrible job. Also marketing and HR have some weird feud that made working in the department uncomfortable, and I often felt I was a chess piece in a larger political game I had no part in.

Zero Growth, Maximum Drama

Pros

The highlight of the years I spent at NSTXL was the people; I worked with some talented individuals and built strong professional relationships. You’ll also get a crash course in government contracting and plenty of opportunities for travel. If you can handle the dry nature of the industry, the technical knowledge you gain is good, but the positive experience ends there.

Cons

The revolving door of employee turnover at NSTXL was constant. Someone in our small department was either getting the boot (sometimes without warning) or jumping ship every month. Between the workload and the fear of losing your job, it was impossible to feel settled in. HR and management dug for dirt on each other all the time in weird ways. Lots of drama there. Quarterly company-wide updates usually consisted of the CEO calling in from his cell phone to recap his networking wins in DC. Felt irrelevant to the actual work we did. Career growth is a myth unless you’re great at playing politics, mainly because leadership would rather hire than promote the talent they have. You'll see what I mean after a brief scroll through their LinkedIn new hires and how many job openings they post for such a small org. There was an irony in working in marketing for a company that couldn’t sell itself to its own employees.

Pros

Opportunity to learn about the aerospace industry

Cons

We are all pawns in a game of political chess. A lot of bullying behavior on the marketing team, people are easily laid off with no reason under the guise of “performance issues” the certain departments breed a toxic culture of alcoholism lead by leadership.
