Pros
This applies to the Noblis-NSP (National Security Partners) subsidiary. Key words: innovative spirit, take care of the people, solid team work, excels in any environment from the defined to the ambiguous, living 3-5 years into the future. When a customer is approached, we have an entire company to support that customer. And the list goes on. And the ability to work from home, and bring a cell phone to work is a welcome change of pace. I also emphasize the continued education approach the company champions to keep their staff ahead of the markets. From my own personal experiences, as contracts have come and gone, the company has been loyal to a fault in finding the bridge to somewhere for us, "a national strategic resource" as they refer to us. That stands above and beyond the competition. Further, when competing on a contract, they will compete on principle and not on the backs of their employees. Unlike other companies, Noblis will not require employees to take a 40% pay cut to win. They maintain that healthy balance between the bottom line, their number on resource, and ensuring the customer gets the best value for the buck. When it comes to ethics, it practices what it preaches. Our team helps clients anticipate and solve their hardest challenges. Our cliental list is a broad cross-section across several government organizations. The company ranges from R&D to operational endeavors covering many domains: cybersecurity, big data, high performance computing, environmental science, aviation, and transportation to name a few.
Cons
As with many government organizations and other companies composed of many elements, cross-domain/subsidiary communications are a challenge. The answer to that is individual initiative to reach out across stove-pipes. The plus side to this con, C-Suite leadership backs individuals breaking down green doors where circumstances of mid/senior-level managers might balk or reproach go-getters in this regard.
