Failed State - Stay Well Away

Recommend

Pros

You will suffer, commiserate and plan your escape with some highly educated, talented, but demotivated working level staff members. International environment very interesting.

Cons

Upper management is an absolute joke, comprised largely of cast-offs from national staffs, uninvested in the long-term success of the organisation. Never have I seen anything close to the current levels of dysfunction. The absolute contempt shown for staff is stunning. Should you be desperate enough to take a position, be prepared to be treated like a nappy (soiled upon and discarded). Visits to the HQ office will remove your will to live. Organization in an absolutely dire state.

Pros

A sense that one can make a difference, the work done at NATO is often significant, even if the finish line seems far away most of the time.

Cons

My advice is to work a max of three years for this agency. After one year one realizes that the many lovely management words spoken are just that; words. After two years one realizes that the place is run by middle and middle-higher management. After three years one starts to doubt the ethics of these management levels and disillusion sets in. I make a special mention here for the job the agency did fot IFOR, SFOR, KFOR and ISAF, that was very good work. BTW, those theatres were close to never ever visited by management (except for the GM who wanted to show that operational theatres were a priority), probably the reason why STC/NC3A/NCIA did such a good job there.

Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for sharing your concerns. We have taken note of them. It is important to remember that the Agency – as part of NATO – has an important mission, to protect the Alliance’s nearly 1 billion citizens. We all contribute to the success of this mission. With this in mind, the Agency’s leadership greatly appreciate the efforts of all our staff members, regardless of their grade. NCI Agency Talent Management Team

Organization undervaluing and underestimating its own staff.

Pros

Only 3 months notice if you have enough and plan to leave. Good salary. Great, very professional, dedicated and devoted to work staff. International environment. Travel opportunity.

Cons

The saddest fact is how the Agency Higher Management is treating its own dedicated, devoted and highly professional staff. Undervaluation and underestimation causes low morale, high frustration, depression and complete demotivation. Lack of stability, fear of loosing job. Your performance does not matter at all, for higher management you're just a number on the list. Introduction, at all cost, of ITIL practises which simply does not work in Military organisation. Bureaucracy reached the ceiling. Under current management I would not recommend working for the Agency to my biggest enemy.
