Pros

The benefits Noblis provides are simply outstanding. In particular, the company match to salary deferral is well above average for this, the Washington DC region. The staff ranges from generally competent to simply outstanding. Management has issues to resolve with staff progression and is genuinely trying to improve some clearly defined issues but the jury is still out.

Cons

Noblis has just been through a significant restructuring of its senior management. Many competent individuals saw this change as either an opportunity to leave or were simply enticed to leave. This brain drain has left the company with gaps in both the science and technology side and in particular the management side. Benefits are starting to erode, currently under the guise of "helping the less fortunate."

Pros

Good work-life balance, nice work environment, the people you work with are smart, educated and easy going. They also hardly ever ask you to work more than 40 yours. The actual work is rewarding and makes a real difference. I also like it that they company is very frugal in that they don't waste money on unnecessary events and parties and instead puts their profits back into the company.

Cons

A lot of senior people and they don't give younger folks a lot of opportunities to lead out. Also, from a programmers stand-point the work is not very challenging and there doesn't seem to be a clear career path for programmers.

Pros

I really enjoy working for Noblis. The people are smart and well-educated. I feel like my advanced degrees have meaning. There are a lot of attempts at communication and improving the company. It feels good to work for a non-profit and to work "in the public interest." The company makes giant contributions to our retirement.

Cons

There has been a lot of emphasis on our last employee survey--but the questions were hugely skewed such that our answers would be positive. It is a little difficult to learn what is happening in other parts of the company. Compensation and advancement is not as transparent as one would like--even among my Division there are glaring differences among comparable staff.
