North reviews

Thank you for taking time to write this review and for the five star rating. We always appreciate that! We are a fast paced company at NAB so its not surprising that you find yourself always doing something new! We have three pillars that we have lived by through this pandemic and they are Collaboration, Problem Solving/Continuous Improvement and Innovation...with pillars like that something new - and better! - is always around the corner. What did surprise me was your comment that you feel like your opportunities might be limited. We have a huge growth plan (including acquisitions!) for 2021 and beyond so we have more opportunities for our team members than ever. I am wondering if you just need to speak to your leader or even someone on my team in HR to share the broader picture with you? Our doors are open and we encourage and welcome the conversation. Again, thank you for taking time to write this review - and Happy Employee Appreciation Day!

Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts with us. We agree that the engineering team is awesome - we love our engineers and believe we have the best engineering talent in the industry! After reading your post I went straight to Jim Parkinson, CXO at NAB, who took your "con's" and "advice to management" to heart. To be 100% honest, Jim was very upset and felt he had let you down...as you know that is the kind of leader he is. Jim is planning an all-hands meeting to talk to the engineering team and explain this situation in more detail. I am not sure if you knew this, but Jim has over 30 years of experience as an engineer and has held multiple engineering leader roles; he has not only walked in your shoes, but he cares deeply about the engineering team. When asked why he chose to become an engineering leader he shared one simple answer, " I want to treat my fellow engineers the way I wanted to be treated". As you can imagine, his intent for these changes was positive, but he is very concerned that the impact of these changes may not be positive for his engineers. As always, Jim's door is always open (as is Kirk's, David's and mine!) if you ever wish to discuss workplace issues 1:1, your opinion is valued. Again, thank you so much for your input, Jim owns this and will discuss it with the team.
