Pros

You get to work in the aerospace industry

Cons

The culture there is toxic from the top down. Management is horrible and full of condescending micromanagers. The coworkers are all cut throat and willing to throw anyone under the bus. If you aren't willing to work at least 50 hours a week you are branded lazy. Avoid at all costs.

Pros

Pay was on time. My desk had a chair most of the time. Food trucks outside regularly.

Cons

- Impossible to get hardware from IT. - Waited 2 months for necessary system access. - Managers don't understand your work, and will make no effort to do so. - Pay is middling at best. "Raise" well below inflation, and "bonus" of pennies while the company sends emails boasting about record profits. - A couple good ol' boys run the show, and everyone else is terrified of them. - Sexist remarks made openly in program-wide meetings are ignored and/or endorsed. - Talking at times is unsafe or well outside of the scope of your position. Zero accountability for management. - Zero diversity in my program. - "The facility never closes" policy, which often necessitates employees driving in harsh and unsafe winter conditions. - No work from home capability.....unless you're a mAnAGeR. - Outright refusal to offer upskilling or cross-training. They would rather hire new, unsuspecting people than play nice with local area training resources and offer legitimate career development.

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.
