Where Professional Careers Go to Die

Anonymous employee

Pros

It's in Vermont. The company is not going out of business. New England Culinary Institute caters lunch. Most employees are very dedicated, collaborative and professional.

Cons

Before you read what follows, for many people at lower levels, NLG is a great opportunity. For top flight talent, it's a place where careers go to die. Despite the apparent diversity inherent in choosing an Iranian CEO, "senior" management lacks diversity and is comprised mostly of cliques of "frat boys and sorority girls." There is a basic management competence question as the prevailing communication style is passive aggression. Major project changes are dictated by whim -- with the subordinate often paying the price for management's detachment and poor business knowledge.

very conservative 1960's culture

Pros

nice office space, cafeteria in-house, good people to work with at the peer level.

Cons

Executives are stuck in 1960. Discrimination and oppression are rampant and HR does nothing. They allow a culture of oppression and abuse and actually promote those people knowingly.

Lives up to the NLG moto

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of fake, incompetent leadership and management. Highly entertaining office politics, low salaries and overwhelming wokload

Cons

Why hire more people when you can have regular employees take on the work of two to three people? is the moto of NLG. HR and Talent acquisition do nothing. Expect the vendor resources and employees to get things working. While the vendor resources don't care, the pressure is on the employees. Management is filled with oldies and old-school mentality who prefer to retire playing small
