Pros

An organization with an important mission: improving health care and health by following the scientific evidence. Staff dedicated to the mission. Company-sponsored happy hours, team building and social activities, and recognition programs. Excellent pay and b benefits.

Cons

Workaholic culture with unbelievable work-life balance messaging. Mission is transforming but unclear to what: non-profit consulting firm open to corporate influence or neutral convener of health care stakeholders building consensus and applying science to improve quality of health care? General lack of confidence and trust in senior leadership. Roughly 60% staff turnover in past couple years, some voluntary and some not.

Pros

Good mission, good work, decent benefits

Cons

NQF got bailed out of bankruptcy by The Joint Commission. The messaging was that NQF will retain its identity and autonomy separate from TJC. That is not the case at all. Every 2-3 months they make incremental changes that have merged NQF into TJC. At this point we have literally been told that we are now TJC employees and they are starting to direct our project work. This has made things worse for employees. NQF was already not good at investing and building their employees (specifically anyone director and below), but now they have zero grounds to do so. Just recently they allowed TJC to restructure NQF's employee structure and demoted managers to analysts. The messaging was that this doesnt affect anything so dont worry about it. This is just one exampled of how the leadership has completely lost their backbone to defend itself against TJC. If you are later on in your career and are coming in for a specific project you have wanted to work on, this might be a good fit. But if you are early in your career please be careful considering this place to work. There is little to no onboarding. There is no training. There is no development plan. And now there is no guarantee your job will not change at the whim of the TJC leadership. TLDR: NQF is basically run by TJC now. No investment in developing employees, especially junior staff. Leadership has no backbone. But good mission and good work trying to improve healthcare.
