Pros

Large company with lots of work. Nationally recognized leader in aerospace, defense and space. Competitive pay and benefits package except CONS below:

Cons

NG's vacation policy SUCKS. They offer only PTO - Paid Time Off. As a 20 year engineer, I get three weeks. That covers EVERYTHING - sick, vacation, family emergency, and as of Hurricane Nicole, I HAVE to use my own PTO to pay for the days that the plant closed because of a freaking direct hit by a hurricane! Oh, they recommend that I flex my time. Yeah. Need to work 18 hours into 4 days I have left in the work week?

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.
