Pros
NGC is an amazing and supportive organization. They have higher standards for their employees than other defense companies, but it translate into a good working environment where every person pulls their weight. The bonuses are generous, and as is the yearly raise. The company is very invested in retaining those who want to stay. Additionally, the flexibility allowed during the pandemic was a godsend.
Cons
I don't have many outside of feeling that my accomplishments are diminished because I am a woman. I make less than any person on my team, but we all have the same degree level and overall I have the most general experience. HR's reasoning is that my degree doesn't directly correlate to my job. So, though I've been working in IT in some facet for a decade, my co-worker who was recently hired, whose only other experience is fast food, makes over 20k more than I do. Advice to women, know going into the interview what is fair for your education and experience and accept nothing less. Maybe one day having a female CEO will mean something.
