Pros

NSF used to be a great place to work. There was good work/life balance, strategic direction that was mission-based, and the company genuinely cared for it's employees.

Cons

Under our new President/CEO, the culture has plummeted into one of fear and chaos, as it’s now constant cuts and layoffs. Those who survived the layoffs are now leaving in droves, fearing the next round of cuts being rumored about. Operating budgets are being slashed and Capital spending frozen, yet we’re all told to do more with less staff and resources. Positions are “eliminated” and then the work is absorbed by other team members with no compensation change. NSF may technically be a not-for-profit entity, but under new executive leadership, the culture that once existed is gone, and all the remains is short-sighted greed, budget cuts, layoffs, and the death spiral of a once great company now under poor leadership.

Pros

The most supportive place I've ever worked. From my coworkers to the management team, I am continously grateful for this positive, collaborative work environment.

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about working here. NSF is high on my list of blessings in my life.

Pros

Work is interesting, people are great except for senior leadership. Work can be monotonous but there is opportunity for some cross training which helps; middle management is great for the most part

Cons

Pay is below average for industry and there is a huge range in pay for people doing the exact same work; promotions are difficult to receive - we shouldn't have to interview for promotions. Employees should have the opportunity to be promoted just based off merit and experience; "hybrid" work model forced upon employees when jobs can be done remotely; lack of care for employees from senior leadership
