Pros

NGP VAN plays an important role in progressive and Democratic politics. People are friendly and the work culture is great. You can wear what you want and be yourself at work. The company is growing rapidly and doing well.

Cons

It's very difficult to be compensated for your growth and additional responsibilities. At least one team has a $20,000 pay disparity between mid-level employees with similar roles. Managers aren't empowered to give raises and promotions. Every increase has to be approved by the CEO, who often says no. If you come onboard, negotiate a salary you'll be comfortable with for at least two years. Sick days and vacation days come from the same pool, so folks rarely take the sick-time they need to recover.

Pros

- Work from home - 401k matching - Can take up to three weeks off

Cons

In the CS department, no one knows what they're doing. Due to layoffs and turnover, a lot of internal knowledge is gone. Unfortunately, the documentation that is available is often dated and incorrect. Client questions are not easily answered, and management likes to blame the entry level workers below them. The work environment is also very fake woke. Big girl boss vibes. I genuinely feel bad for the clients because they are trying to do good work and we cannot provide real answers for their issues. There's also no room for growth. I think part of the turnover issue is that the company wants management to target older staff and replace them with cheaper new hires. I also find it incredibly gross when Bonterra exploits national disasters for advertising.
