NSF reviews

Work load, 50 to 60 plus hour work weeks with no compensation, management is a joke, HR is not there for employees and issues that are brought up usually result in reprimand to the employee. Upper Management work from home on full time basis and are usually impossible to reach. Training is a joke and non existent, management likes to use scare tactics.

There are a lot of managers and not enough people doing the actual work. People are often expected to meet deadlines and heavy workloads without adequate staffing and space. NSF is also quick to give up on programs that are not making enough money. It's supposed to be a not-for-profit company but profits and growth are seemingly very important to the senior management. In the laboratory area, there is limited opportunity for career growth. Promotions can be quite difficult to obtain even after sending years earning them.
