A bizarre place to work

Anonymous employee

Pros

It's a job. In fact, management will frequently remind you that you should be glad you have a job.

Cons

Management is inept. Management regularly lies to the employees. They aren't very good at lying so it's just insulting. People that are billable are treated like second class citizens. The company is very partial to women. If you are a man thinking of working at North Wind, then you should work on becoming the best sycophant you can be.

Good benefits but dysfunctional corporation

Pros

Competitive pay, amazing benefits, and wide variety of federal projects.

Cons

Dysfunctional Executive Leadership team is always changing its mind about corporate direction leading to abrupt decisions that can stifle career path and lead to frustration and high turnover rate. Poor internal systems set up hastily by ELT are not well integrated and make project management overly complicated, incredibly expensive, and difficult to effectively implement. Poor legal representation due to one lead attorney and several paralegals for a suite of 17 different North Wind companies who don't have time to focus due to thousands of federal contracts and related issues in a constant state of flux.

Pros

Health Insurance Job Security Flexible Schedule Work Life Balance

Cons

Every meeting or chat in the hallway is a rant about someone's race, gender, LGBTQ status, etc. The manager in my group ends each call with, "if anyone says I said anything here, I'm denying it all. Bye!" Don't work here.
