Pros

Job security, working on cool programs, and a paycheck.

Cons

Nepotism and good ol boys club runs deep here. Your experience/background, education, and performance doesn't matter, it's all about who you know to get a decent year end review and promotion. If you don't suck up to leadership, good luck here.

Pros

- Offers competitive pay compared to other companies of it's size.

Cons

- The benefits that they offer are mediocre at best in my opinion. For instance, when it comes to the 401K, you have to be an employee for at least 3 years before they fully vest the match, where as unlike many other companies your match is fully vested day 1. - Very hard to get promoted here. Once you are in a position, you have to pretty much leave the company and come back in order to get promoted to a hire position. Even Applying when applying for another position with NG internally, most managers will not release you from your current position, even if you get offered the position. - For a company that throw around buzz phrases like "work/life balance" and "flexible work schedule", they do little to nothing to accommodate that. NG would rather you milk the clock so that they can milk the government customer vs being efficient and getting the job done early. In actuality it's often unofficially penalized for finishing a task early, especially if they have a lot of hours to "burn" on the task order. If they do, just know they will find "busy work" for you to do in order to charge the government even if no work was actually done.
