Pros
Team was excellent, people cared about each other and working on exciting projects that are significant to the company’s strategic goals was interesting and challenging.
Cons
Benefits are being chipped away to the point that it’s not nearly as great working for NM as it used to be. Other companies are catching up trying to compete for talent that NM isn’t as competitive anymore. I’ve had three headhunters in the last month reach out offering $30-50k more than my current salary… I’m definitely following up on those! Leadership is well meaning but largely ineffective and any “development” or onboarding programs are laughably pathetic. I learned more on my own through external classes I paid for out of pocket because their budgets are too slim to allow employees to have any worthwhile development opportunities apart from being put on large disorganized projects with little direction, mentoring, or support. Tons of people working on the same projects that actually making progress is extremely difficult. Someone else usually gets credit for the work you put in, or even gets promotions based on the results you helped to orchestrate. Little reward or recognition, lower pay for the industry, and low morale leads to toxicity and burnout.
