Pros

there are no pros to describe.

Cons

Where to start. Let me point out... the management over the IT people leave a lot to be desired. They constantly use vulgar language during status calls, during meetings with employees, all the time. This is a very fast paced environment. From day one, they stated they were short handed. They stated they were hiring people... nothing ever materialized. The projects were piled on.. the code base not consistent. code would be in one client code base that didn't belong, nothing commented. The code is archaic, spaghetti code, you have to be a genius to figure it out. Did I mention the vulgar language used by management during meetings?

Pros

There are some awesome fringe benefits working with NSI, Employee appreciation month, Commitment to community, Activities committee, Payday Popcorn, Oval Office, Company Sponsored Happy Hours, Health days, and more things than I have ever received at any other company. If you are looking for all the little extras that make a place cool to work at, NSI has it.

Cons

It will all boil down to 2 business fundamentals. Communication and Accountability. NSI lacks both. While NSI is owned by an investment firm (Frontenac) and is supposed to run like a corporation, it continually runs like a mom and pop establishment, where the CEO is pop, and mom some how got jaded out of the deal too. If hope and change is what you seek, look elsewhere. If the CEO didn't read it in a book, or it didn't come to him in a dream, it's not going to happen. NSI is focused only on making the next sale. There is no research and development team, no persons in charge of streamlining processes, and no metrics on success (unless its a sales number). The CEO wouldn't know Six Sigma if it smacked him in the face and stole his running shoes. Most of the people that work at NSI are awesome people, and NSI has great extras that make it different than most other place you can work. When "the senior manager" is only focused on sales and not focused on the company's biggest assets, you have to wonder how long it can remain a player in the marketing arena. If you are looking to gain valuable insight on how NOT to run a business that is sustainable past the next merger/acquisition, work for NSI. It will teach you a ton...
