Pros

Handful of good people caught up in a bad company

Cons

Hey you, seen an NSF mark, or an ad somewhere and wondering what the company is all about? Here's it in nutshell NSF -Abuses it's non-profit tax status by diverting funds abroad to build new offices and particularly directly into the pockets of it's executive team and board. -Embarked on a "transformation" in 2020 during the pandemic laying off hundreds at the peak of the pandemic when they previously said those people would be given new jobs, then they laid off the new staff that came in...then laid off the staff that came in after that. Rampant cryonyism ensued. Whole departments are built entirely off who they know. -Has very little to do with public health but sure talks about it a lot. NSF is all about the benjamins and will go after it despite the impact on public health (look up peanut corp of America...NSF client....) - Case in point, NSF has certified a ton of PFAS containing products, now that the winds have blown the other way they have a PFAS-free certification scheme. - A VERY unsafe place to speak up as an employee or offer suggestions to anyone who's a director or above. - Ask yourself, is a company that treats its employees so terribly really care about the public's health? Suuuuure they do.

Pros

Great team members. Solid mission to work towards.

Cons

Work life balance, they killed the culture and the senior leadership changes with the wind. Lack of communication across divisions. Strong preference for inclusion for onsite team; remote are left out frequently, intentionally.
