NSS Labs Reviews

Geez, this company. They pull you in with the promise of free snacks, lunches, and a great culture - only you’ll find out later that no one has any idea what they are doing. Turnover is the highest I've ever seen. Leadership runs all around trying to put out the fires of their own incompetencies, people scramble around, vendors complain, and NSS wigs out, afraid they might get sued again by another vendor. Wash, rinse, repeat. Testers are promised bonuses for all the hard work they do, only to have those checks snatched away at the last minute. And the testers aren’t paid nearly enough to begin with. Speaking of getting sued. A recent lawsuit pretty much ruined the company. As a result, they laid off a dozen people in October, which was a large chunk of our workforce. I partly blame the CEO, Jason “WHERE’S MY PIZZA?!!!” Brvenik, he of the Pizza Gate fame, as one previous poster put it (review was since taken down). He is a bully, berating people if they accidentally take his pizza. Good lord, the way he acted, you’d think that pizza was the most important thing in the world, even though the company is going down the tubes. And if the CEO squawks, a VP or two will jump in to defend him, since they are all such butt kissers. Don't you have any self-respect? If you are considering working here, don’t. Chances are you will get laid off. Chances are you will get caught up in the bad morale and will soon be whispering about how you are looking for other work (like me).

No 401k matching. After the great recruiting process and HR orientation, you will feel lost. Exec leadership have least EQ. I had seen intimidating, rude and often confrontational behavior from execs in front of the whole team. They hire bright people and then micromanage which leads to frustration and lack of motivation very soon. All good and smart people are leaving. Why? because they are honest, do the right thing and don't suck up to management on a daily basis. if you are committed and like to take ownership of your work, you may have to change your mindset. Two things might happen after a few months you join: 1) suck up to the management and become a robot. 2) leave the company to maintain your integrity. As other reviewers said, you might be better off where you are and proceed with extra caution. Don't get fooled by the hype of flexible and WFH environment. This does not apply for all teams. The little perks will eventually be useless when you feel like crap! Open PTO policy is also not a big benefit. When people around you are never taking any time off, you will feel guilty to ask. If you have responsibilities and have dependents to take care of, you are better off where you are for job security. Who stays on board: you should have guessed by now. If you are someone who doesn't like growth and like to be treated like a child, this place may work out for you!
