"I've worked for NGC for 3 years, 2 as an intern and 1 as an employee. The company supports its employees and pays for school as well as having deals with schools, so you can get your masters on campus with classes on the off Fridays. The 9/80 work week is great and they shut down from Christmas to New Year's every year by using all the floating holidays then."

"It's a good company. However, they hire too many software engineers that are not necessary to support their mission and therefore everyone has a little piece to work with. So when the contract is completed then they start to lay off people."
