Thank you for taking the time to write this thoughtful review!
Company is backed by a CEO who is a billionaire and is willing to invest in the company
Building is nice-looking
Cons
Extremely disorganized organization
There are not enough seats or parking spots for employees
Most people are overworked and have difficulty taking time-off
Unlimited vacation is an euphemism for no vacation due to amount of work
I heard turnover is extremely high and most do not last more than half a year
There is no cafeteria on-site and at many times no time for lunch
Compensation and benefits are sub-par
There is no transparency on decisions, priorities or issues
Toxic environment as most people in the organization hate coming to work
Billionaire CEO also heads other Nant companies, so his attention to NK is limited
I heard "holiday party" food was catered by an In-N-Out food truck. What a joke!

Thank you for your feedback and it is unfortunate that we missed the mark from your perspective. We are a fast growing company that can feel chaotic at times. We consider your comments constructive and our priority is to make each and every employee has their say about the work environment. But, like any situation we listen to feedback and provide both positive and constructive feedback to Associate and Manager alike. To further illustrate this point we partnered with AON Hewitt to administer an employee survey and shared that feedback at each of our main hubs over the past 45 days. To date we have heard from both Associates and Managers where action plans were developed to address associate concerns. We welcome you to participate and continue to share your feedback.
