Horrible place to work

Pros

Nice offices in an expensive neighborhood. Appearances are great, great pay for the work.

Cons

Inept management, hostile work environment (explains the above average pay-its the only way to get and keep anyone). I have never been so demeaned in a job before. I am trying desperately to find a new job.

Pros

Regarding the NGRTC facility in Kennesaw: - Benefits for full-time employees are at or above industry standards. - Modern, clean facility, with state-of-the-art equipment and instruments. - Many opportunities for career development for engineers. - Extensive initiatives in community outreach programs (i.e. recycling, Habitat for Humanity, STEM education, etc.).

Cons

Regarding the NGRTC facility in Kennesaw: - Non-engineers cannot progress their careers at this company. - Company culture is widely considered to be toxic, combative, and oppressive. - Talent retention has struggled significantly as a growing number of seasoned professionals with experience in other organizations have started seeking job opportunities with competitors. - The human resources department rarely adheres to confidentiality guidelines. - Most research projects are conducted by external contractors. - Management has little relevant scientific background, making scientific advising and technical career growth very difficult. - There is no mechanism in place for upwards feedback. - Many full-time employees are encouraged to approach their tenure as if they were contract employees. - There is no safe space for employees to voice concerns about their work environment. - Internal efforts are in place to post positive online company reviews to counteract increasingly frequent negative feedback from current and former employees.

Pros

Same as previous Kennesaw reviews. Clean labs, safety policy, free drinks, etc...

Cons

The last few reviews posted are very accurate. There is nobody in management from HR to overall lab Management that knows how to manage an R&D Lab or understands what research is. They are all engineers or business development trained and couldn't recognize a scientific experiment if they saw one. There is not a technical leader in the facility.
