Pros
The campus is beautiful. NCL Venture Center is green, clean, and calming. Plenty of open space to walk around, which is a rare upside. At first, things may seem okay on the surface — but the initial calm doesn’t last too long.
Cons
No formal onboarding process; you're left to figure everything out the expectations of the company yourself. No clear leave policy. Even valid sick days are met with resistance, and time off is made to feel like a burden. You're expected to work weekends and holidays without any additional support or recognition. Staying well past office hours (after 7 p.m.) is normalized and silently expected, with no consideration for work-life balance. A culture of favoritism — those close to the CEO receive special treatment, while others are left to navigate unclear expectations. Personal boundaries are repeatedly crossed. The CEO frequently organizes weekend lunches with select employees, where invasive personal questions are asked. These details are then brought up later in one-on-ones in a manipulative, unsettling way. The work culture is psychologically unsafe, performative, and rooted in fear, not collaboration.
