Pros

Benefit package which includes PTO

Cons

Upper Management only cares about themselves and doesn't listen to the employees. They don't care when someone leaves. They are promoting people into upper management that have no business being in charge not only of people but a company. They are not transparent like they claim they are and only care about certain people and are not addressing the real problems. If they would listen to their employees and fix the REAL problem, the company would succeed. They tell you to come to them and let them know what the problem is. When you do, they don't listen or do anything about it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. You're describing a specific pattern: you spoke up, and nothing happened. That's not a gap in our process. That's a breakdown in trust, and those don't get fixed by telling people we have an open-door policy. You called out the People team directly. When the people responsible for culture and employee experience don't get it right for an employee, it can show up everywhere, and you felt that. Putting people into leadership who aren't ready to lead people can be damaging. It's a fair criticism to make, and it deserves a real answer, not a line about how we're committed to developing great leaders. We're looking at how feedback moves inside this company and whether our actions match what we say we believe. That work isn't finished.

Pros

Lots of spare time, activities, health insurance, health reimbursement, 401k, and also performance bonus. People are really friendly, and they listen to you. Also dogs in the office.

Cons

My experience here was mixed. It really depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a chill environment, minimal pressure, and a decent work-life balance, this company might be a good fit. However, if you’re looking for career growth or modern technical experience, it can be frustrating. I was hired for a position that never actually materialized. Instead, I was assigned to work with Duck Creek, a tool that very few companies in the broader software engineering world use. This limited my learning and professional development — the work mostly revolved around maintaining legacy systems and tasks that only benefited Duck Creek, rather than expanding into newer or internal initiatives. Another issue was unmet promises. During hiring, I was told the role would be fully remote, but later only a select few were allowed to remain remote while others were required to switch to a hybrid setup, even after working remotely for years. In short, I felt stuck, unable to grow my technical skills, and ultimately let go right before the holidays — for the second consecutive year the company has done layoffs around that time. If you’re looking for stability and a relaxed pace, this could be a good fit. But if your goal is to advance your career in software engineering, you might find yourself stuck working with outdated technology and limited opportunities to grow.

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest and detailed feedback about your experience at NLS. We genuinely appreciate you highlighting the positives, including the friendly culture, work-life balance, and benefits (health insurance, 401k, and performance bonus). The fact that our people are genuinely friendly and listen to feedback is something we work hard to maintain, and we are glad you felt that. We are sorry to hear that your experience ultimately left you feeling frustrated about your career growth and the change in your remote work status. We want to address the points you raised directly: • Career Growth and Technology: We understand your frustration regarding the assignment to the platform we support during implementations and the feeling that the work was primarily centered on legacy maintenance, which may limit exposure to cutting-edge technologies. • Remote Work Policy: We regret the impact the shift to a hybrid model had on your employment expectations. The decision to adjust our working model was a necessary response to evolving business needs for greater cross-functional collaboration. We have shored up communications to ensure new hires are clear about in-office, hybrid work expectations. • Reduction in Force (RIF) Timing: We understand the profound emotional impact that a RIF, particularly one timed ahead of the holidays, has on employees. While business needs always drive these decisions, we are reviewing our RIF process—including timing and communication—to ensure we handle these transitions with the utmost empathy and respect. We appreciate you giving us a clear view of where we excel and where we absolutely must improve. We are committed to fostering a culture where all employees feel they have opportunities to advance their technical careers. We wish you all the best in your future career endeavors and hope you find a role that offers the growth and technical challenges you seek.
