Strong technical and programme management ethos. When UK management had primacy, NGIT had a capable, competent and cohesive team . Good to gain first job experience of a Fortune 100, multi-national.

Cons

US centric view on market not aligned to european business ITAR restrictions place huge difficulty on pulling product though from US. UK staff sometimes treated as "third country nationals"

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
