No Transparency during "Transformation"

Pros

I used to get paid well for my job. Remote life (for now)

Cons

Where do I start... Inept leadership even after “transformation” (from these reviews doesn’t it seem like a common theme?). I’ve always been hesitant seeing reviews blaming leadership, but after seeing this company basically keep kicking the can down the road, I am certain at this point this company is completely lost. Even these new people talk about “transparency” and “burning imperatives”; it honestly seems like just smoke and mirrors and everyone knows it. Literally the least transparent organization I have ever worked for. And for a company that showcases themselves as a not for profit organization, ONLY seems to care about their revenue and how much more they can make. Sure they usually rake in forty some odd MILLION in revenue, but they felt the need to not only cut dozens of jobs (not mine thankfully), but also cut everyone’s salary during a pandemic by 15%, just enough to not collect partial unemployment. Think about that before you try joining this company, you are only a number that eventually they need to cut to save on costs. Deep rooted issues that whatever “transformation” will never cure and honestly, I think has torpedoed morale to all time lows. I was warned about these cultural issues in the beginning from other staff members, but just thought it was a lot of he said she said politics. Nope. Future Employees beware..

Used to be a Great Company; Heading Downhill Fast

Pros

NSF used to be a great place to work. There was good work/life balance, strategic direction that was mission-based, and the company genuinely cared for it's employees.

Cons

Under our new President/CEO, the culture has plummeted into one of fear and chaos, as it’s now constant cuts and layoffs. Those who survived the layoffs are now leaving in droves, fearing the next round of cuts being rumored about. Operating budgets are being slashed and Capital spending frozen, yet we’re all told to do more with less staff and resources. Positions are “eliminated” and then the work is absorbed by other team members with no compensation change. NSF may technically be a not-for-profit entity, but under new executive leadership, the culture that once existed is gone, and all the remains is short-sighted greed, budget cuts, layoffs, and the death spiral of a once great company now under poor leadership.

Pros

Coworkers are great, clean work environment

Cons

Penny pinching by upper management gets in the way of being able to do the work.
