Pros

Nice super friendly team members, minus HR

Cons

Wanted to post up review to point out and call out the HR Department....the countless stories about how rude HR department representatives are around here the last few years is crazy and pretty sad, including my own negative experience with them. I won't and can't say that every single member of the HR team at NSF is rude and unprofessional, but I sadly have been hearing a story at least once a month from other current and former co workers about how negative their experiences have been with them. From those who were affected by the transformation and were 'exited' super unprofessionally with literally ONE DAY NOTICE of receiving that they were no longer with the company and told to log off, when in prior job experiences, only those who broke policy or did something EXTREMELY wrong were treated as such. To those still currently with the company who have and STILL continue to have negative experiences with their HR reps...super sad and frustrating stories I've heard of super unprofessional behavior when reporting things like potential discrimination & bias, unprofessional/bullying supervisors, and taking PTO time for things like a DEATH IN THE FAMILY and being talked to like children/non-adults when requesting :( Essentially the biggest problem is HOW DO YOU REPORT HR IF HR IS THE ACTUAL PROBLEM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Seriously....not a joke :( NSF is a really nice well intended organization...but between all of the above and on top of that also the INSANE disparities in pay amongst roles here is crazy...for "world class global organization" this place in terms of HR reminds me more of a place that needs help on that show "Kitchen Nightmares"...silly metaphor but is actually dead on. This issue needs to be fixed and addressed ASAP...and praying that no one ends up reading this review (posted on May 2021) like in DECEMBER of this year and then 'wants to make nice' for 2022....change needs to happen NOW.

Pros

Work is interesting, people are great except for senior leadership. Work can be monotonous but there is opportunity for some cross training which helps; middle management is great for the most part

Cons

Pay is below average for industry and there is a huge range in pay for people doing the exact same work; promotions are difficult to receive - we shouldn't have to interview for promotions. Employees should have the opportunity to be promoted just based off merit and experience; "hybrid" work model forced upon employees when jobs can be done remotely; lack of care for employees from senior leadership
