Pros

I was lucky to have some wonderful teammates at N2. Despite the abysmal leadership and the company’s complete lack of conscience, I am grateful for the relationships I took with me when I left. Those few kind humans—none of whom, unfortunately, were in positions of power—are my singular positive takeaway from my time at the company.

Cons

N2 epitomizes the toxicity, greed, and underhandedness of corporate America. They espouse Christian values while egregiously underpaying their employees, encouraging them to get second and third jobs to feed their families instead of paying them a living wage. The longer you are with the company, the more you will be expected to take on, but without hope of promotion or increase in pay. Employees are discouraged from asking for raises, no matter how much their workloads may have increased. If you’re one of the lucky ones to get a “bump,” as they call it—N2 loves to use euphemisms to prevent their employees from learning the vocabulary needed to advocate for themselves—you cannot even expect it to be commensurate with inflation. N2 says they do not want “brilliant jerks.” What they mean by that is they want hard workers who are too afraid to ask questions. They reward obedient employees with empty words of affirmation, and they penalize those who stand up for themselves and their teammates by digging through their work to find mistakes, and then making examples of them in group settings. Employees are systematically manipulated into thinking that they are stupid and have nominal value—“stay in your lane” lectures are frequent—stripping them of the empowerment to look for better work elsewhere. In short, I would not recommend anyone work at N2. A job at a terrible company is better than no job at all, but if you have another opportunity elsewhere, take it. As a human being with a unique set of talents and skillsets, you probably have a lot to offer the world. Don’t waste your time on a company that will only underpay and mistreat you.

The N2 Company Response
2y
The hostility you feel towards N2 is clear, and this is never what we want anyone to experience after interacting with us – especially not someone who spent time as a part of our team. While we disagree with nearly everything in this review (so much so we are a bit reluctant to even acknowledge it with a response), we have to, at the very least, point out the statements that are most blatantly false. To be absolutely clear: Our people are our number one asset. To say N2 rewards "obedient" team members and "penalizes" team members who speak out – and that "employees are systematically manipulated into thinking that they're stupid and have limited value" – are not only hurtful falsities, but go against everything we say, and most importantly, everything we do. We know from this disparaging review that your mind is completely made up about N2 – nothing we say will have any effect – but we do hope you're able to land at a company you feel is the best fit for you.

Pros

N2 is a flexible company with strong family values and plenty of growth opportunities. I have been with the company for 12 years and have had the opportunity to grow professionally, take on new challenges, and develop new skills throughout my career.

Cons

Reviewing pay ranges regularly to ensure they remain competitive with the market would help support employee retention.

Pros

Managers that really care & promote learning and self-growth, flexibility with remote-work.

Cons

Pay structure and opportunities for raises are few and far between. Not a lot of monetizing reward or growth opportunities for picking up more work and being a team player.
