Pros

NG is a place where front line leaders and middle managers are working incredibly hard to help their people succeed. Salary and benefits are at least competitive.

Cons

Unfortunately, morale is so low amongst experienced employees that it is bringing them all down. Turnover, engagement are all negative, and there is no trust of the executives. Hiring and promoting is done in a black box, favoritism is rampant, if you are older and experienced you are a goner in favor of younger and diverse candidates.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
