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

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Cons

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
