Enjoy that fancy job title and high pay in the corporate office for as long as you can. Typical of most Mom and Pop shops in IT, NFF has limited resources and they do not have relationships in the industry. Turnover in the corporate office is high. They tend to bite off more than they can chew and when finances get tight, they will reduce you to part time and then eventually let you go. If you are on a contract that ends, there will not be another for them to transition you to. They cannot afford a bench. Also, there is no clear direction of where to take the business.
The management style in the corporate office is completely Micro. If you do not like to be micro managed, NFF is not for you. If you come onboard expect to have meetings with the CEO and President (almost daily) to talk about every nook and cranny, over and over again. Just to give you an idea: there are 10-12 people in the corporate office and there is a Director, VP, President, and CEO that you will interface with daily. Four executive managers overseeing 8 people is as micro as you can get without splitting an atom.
Lastly, the smooth ride that the DC government contractors have can be a double edged sword. Just how a contractor can forget that they work for the Mom and Pop, NFF can forget the contractors as well. It is a basic case of “out of sight, out of mind”. NFF has a long history of not reaching out to their contractors in the field to make them feel like they belong to an actual company.
