Pros
The company has a good benefits package, but it is difficult to expand on any possible positives, since the negatives were so overbearing. That most of the problems seem isolated to one department could, I suppose, be a "pro."
Cons
The following only refers to NC4's NIMC department, which is apparently an aberration, since similar problems do not appear to be as acute in other parts of the company. Also important to consider is that removal of just one or two actors could dramatically change conditions. Sabotaging any effective management is an insurmountable wall of egregious egoism, abuse of power, vindictiveness, condescension, dismissiveness, manipulation, mendacity, pettiness, cronyism, and favoritism. One can expect to confront a maliciously disrespectful climate. The senior analyst position, which is the highest in NIMC outside of management, was effectively imported following the acquisition of a smaller company. NIMC management consistently failed to grasp the most basic elements of analysis, but more inexcusably, it never earnestly tried to learn anything about this newly acquired service. Exacerbating matters, management attempted to feign greater experience than those with actual experience, all at the expense of the company's product and worker morale. The workers' opinion, even if substantially more informed and experienced than that of management's, was generally ignored, since recognizing any external input would apparently challenge management's delusional charade of omniscience. Slightest disagreements could trigger retaliatory accusations of disloyalty, and the threat of unjustified and arbitrary termination or marginalization was ever looming. The general environment encouraged sycophancy, not merit. Perhaps worst of all, inability to recognize or understand the staff's skill-set and knowledge resulted in lack of appreciation, which in turn, translated to compensation incommensurate with the worker's actual qualifications. Immutable proof of this hostile environment is, as other reviewers repeatedly noted, the remarkably high turnover rate. Anyone smart enough to do the job is too smart to tolerate such demeaning conditions for any notable amount of time.
