Pros

You will always get your paycheck and your benefits.

Cons

They take the diversity thing way too extreme. Caucasian males and especially veterans will not advance to management. They review their employees on one scale that is made public to the employee. Then management have what they call a “9- square” review they also perform and they do not share this with even the employee. This square has all the employees under the manager listed in respective squares with 1 being basically not a good employee and 9 being “should be CRO” essentially. Then they have a diversity legend on the form. This diversity legend include 3 stars for a Caucasian female, 2 stars for a minority female, 1 star for a minority male and, you guessed it no stars for a Caucasian male. These stars are then placed in front of the employee names. This makes it so that upper management can see their “diversity” in their employees. The managers say they do not issue promotions based on this but it does not appear to be true to employees. This is why I chose to leave the company.

Pros

Nothing I can think of

Cons

Beware when getting an offer to work at this company, because they may rescind it after acceptance and after you have given notice at your current company. They may even give a faulty reason, but they can do it for any reason or none at all. Any company can rescind an offer at anytime, but I truly thought NGC would be above that. Very unethical times we are living in, and NGC fits that moldiness very well.

Pros

Flexible work arrangements are available

Cons

Constantly cutting benefits with little to no notice and forcing employees to fund their own academic commitments more and more. Employees are now leaving after being hired under a different set of promises.
