"I've worked for NGC for 14 years and found it great for career growth and opportunities. NGC has a rich and diverse work environment that allows individuals of all walks of life and experience to play a part and make a difference to the war fighter on the ground all the way to the commanders in the top tiers of government."

"I worked here for 7 years. The technology we used was very obsolete. We used Windows XP into 2014, and Visual Studio 2008 is still being used. The facilities are depressingly ugly. The place was built in 1906, and no attempt has been made to bring it up to 1990s standards. There are no elevators, so if you need a wheelchair, you can't get to half the offices. Raises were poor for everyone. Young people would get some time on their resumes, then leave."
