Pros
NSF's mission and values are solid. Also NSF is very lucky that it has continued to retain a handful of individual contributors and leaders that are both competent and also support and lift up their fellow colleagues.
Cons
While I think the intentions are good, the reality continues to be that top level leadership is unable to follow-up on their commitments in a way that's meaningful to 75% or more of the organization. NSF is at a point in it's history where it took on a level of change that was above and beyond it's ability to execute it well. We are all burnt out taking on multiple jobs, and just waiting for things to get better while we endure them getting worse. Being a manager at this company these days primarily consists of: being berated by direct reports that are frustrated, apologizing to angry/frustrated direct reports for things that are completely out of your control, inheriting broken systems and processes that were passed down from predecessors, no clarity or direction in your role, fighting/working around HR, and being the voice/face of directives from the top of the company and asked to communicate them as if they were your own. There is an unreasonable emotional burden placed on 'middle' managers, let alone the actual 'work' that you need to figure out how to fix in order to execute. All the stated combined with non-competitive pay will continue to push out talent over the next few months. The pro is it will create upward mobility for those that choose to stay.
