I had to smile when I read your tag line, so thank you for that. I am beyond pleased that you are currently enjoying your work experience at NAB. I have such great respect for our IT Engineers, you are the "secret sauce" at NAB and we are all grateful for the time, effort and energy our IT Engineering team puts into ensuring we are innovative and forward thinking as a company. I appreciate your mention of flexible work schedules and the ability to work remotely as your "Pro" items. Our senior executive team has worked very hard through out the pandemic to ensure every team member was safe, healthy and productive...in that order. When you have those priorities, flexibility and remote work just make sense. As far as your "con's" are concerned...I have to agree with you there. We have not done a very good job with career pathing in the past and I am happy to say that this is now a key priority for us to improve. We are currently working with our top leaders to identify key successors and high potential talent to begin INTENTIONALLY developing, stretching and promoting talent within NAB and across our many entities. We have a ton of very talented, motivated team members at NAB and we want to do all we can to maximize that talent. If you have any personal concerns around your own development or career path I encourage you to speak to your direct leader or your HR Business Partner, sometimes an open conversation is all you need to get the process started. Again, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we appreciate your input as we strive to continuously improve.

We appreciate your feedback, thank you for taking the time to post. I am so pleased that you listed people, facilities and flexibilty as "Pro's" for working at NAB. I see that you worked at our Troy facility which is beautiful...but its the people that make NAB a truly great place to work. Thank you for that! As far as your "Con" is concerned, I reached out to Jim Parkinson for help in addressing your concern. I am sure you know Jim, our CXO, and his response is listed here: " Historically in engineering and operations, all companies have had to deal with this problem. At NAB, we have closed this gap, and we continue to close the gap every day. In complex systems that need to be up 100% of the time, there must be communication between the people who build our services and the folks that run them. This is an equal and critical partnership. The IT and Engineering leadership teams are committed to closing that gap; if any team member feels that it is not closing, we encourage them to please work with their leader to ensure that communications are happening. I also tell our teams, "If you hit a roadblock, come to me directly." I am 100% sure you will find that the entire leadership team wants to continuously improve and will respond positively to those communications. Thank you." - Jim Parkinson CxO
