Pros

Nice people locally but it is not enough if your family well-being is threatened.

Cons

Tricky benefit policies - they would not tell you in front, but after several months of coming aboard, I have been told that I cannot have under my med insurance my wife of 20+ years because I refuse to share with them our income tax statements. Our marriage certificate, common children, church wows, wedding rings, etc. do not matter - the only proof according to them is the income tax we filled. This has been unheard of with any of my previous employers. No respect for our rights and privacy. I no longer desire to work for a place that treats employees with such disrespect. They have no right to demand to see our tax statements. All the salary raise I gained on accepting this job will disappear once I have to buy separate insurance for my wife. I am currently in negotiations with my previous employer to see if I can come back and forget the nightmare they put me through in NGC.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
