Typical non-profit - great mission and good work-life balance - Anonymous employee National Fire Protection Association Employee Review

good and supportive work environment

tech stack is a little behind

The payscale NFPA uses means that people tend to get paid pretty well.

The environment is highly toxic, starting with the CEO. He's great at speaking and seeming like he cares about people and the company when presenting publicly, but he's a very different, mean-spirited person in more private meetings. Nothing pleases him more than attacking others and getting those around him to agree that he is always "directionally correct," which is a term I've never heard before or since, but heard all the time from the VPs. If anyone has to deal with him or the sycophants he's hired around him in the C-suite, your time at NFPA will likely be miserable. If you don't have to deal with them, you might be OK at NFPA.
