NCI Information Systems Employer Reviews

Every day was busy with questions from employees regarding new procedures, time keeping and benefits.
Exciting learning opportunity into other fields.
Interaction with co-workers was the best part of the day.

the manager got an% of all jobs done so he would send you to an job that would take 3 guys 2 days and only have 2 guys or less and want it done in 1 day. all over it was an unsafe work envirment becouse of the manager.then when someone calls about an job refernce he will tell them all types of lies, becouse you didnt kiss his butt.

Fortune 14 Company - Largest Healthcare organization in the US.

There is no support for women in engineering. The only females that are promoted to management roles are in accounting and similiar not male dominanted roles. As a black female woman, I got no support even though my program manager was a female. Men getting promoted; support their friends and sabbatoge other women. When you complain about them saying – more... inappropriate remarks sexually or calling you a wino management does nothing. I quit when asked to sign a written reprimand. They believe whatever the men say. Women stay away. – less

Very fast paste environment. Hands on experience. I used my professional and managing experience on the job.

Restructured and modernized Training materials

Added State Dept. telecommunications system knowledge to what I had learned previously.

Challenging as style was greatly different from my military experience.

Super knowledgeable and easy to learn from.

Learning so many different systems so quickly.

Since NCI is a contract company, often the quality of your day or lack thereof typically will reflect on the client you are assigned to much more than NCI, your employer. I have had a great experience because I have done great work, and both leads, and customers have positively acknowledged my efforts.

I have been able to grow and learn lots of new technical skills working for NCI. I’ve learn how to increase my ability to assist customers over the phone working on the Helpdesk. My technical skills continued to grow when I got promoted to the Deskside team. It involved a lot of hands on troubleshooting supporting customers onsite. Each day can be different – more... than the previous with new customers and new technical issues. I’ve learned to make unhappy frustrated customers smile and request me for assistance. – less

Can be a hard work place with sometimes overwhelming amounts of work that needs doing, while at the same time no one seems to know your doing it. There is not much credit thrown around but blame is in plenty supply and no one want to take it while everyone wants to dish it out. Nci is always on top of training for the job you have been assigned, but – more... if you want to learn more you'll have to do that on your own. Because of those things it is difficult to show your ready to advance, they also like to hire new people for that new higher position you have been waiting for rather then promoting you. Vacation is plentiful and rarely will anyone bother you while your on it, also the people are very lax on when you ask for it no two week notice needed, 24 hours is more than enough! People are mostly pretty friendly. – less

Enjoyable opportunities to meet various foreign nationals.

Good Company to work for, promotiability, lasting friendships, I learned to never burn bridges, a fast paced day, full of opportunities to learn

I enjoyed my job at this company for several years. Now that management/ownership has changed I find that the environment, policies and work ethic of the company is less than desirable now. I report to work at four am every morning. I do not know each day what the schedule may hold, some days we work eight hours , some days we work sixteen hours.The – more... job I am on now is very repetitive in some aspects; I am responsible for packing out specific parts to "package" steel buildings for shipping. I select the parts use a fork lift to move them, strap them to pallets, load them on a trailer and use a yard truck to move the trailer to the shipping yard. I use a hand held scanner to scan out parts for the order and a computer to check status and download completed work orders for shipping. I have several good friends at the company, people that I have worked with for years and I value their friendships. It is very hard to see them with such low morale mostly for the same reasons I have stated. The job is very physically demanding the hardest mental task is keeping up with the job and bundle numbers as they are not all assembled and sent at the same time. The camaraderie I have with some of my co-workers is my favorite part of the social aspect of the job. I enjoy being able to move around doing this job. I also like the extra hours we get during some seasons. I have three children and a wife and I am always appreciative of being able to make more money. – less

Great Managers
I was free to do whatever what was required.

My boss was at Oak Ridge and he trusted my judgment.

Enjoyable yet challenging work in the pre-construction metal building industry. Most enjoyable part of the job was the friendships/ associations formed with the contractors/builders.

Was a very good place to work, I was on a travel team that traveled around the country. Had a great support staff, management was always responsive to you.

Only drawback was the amount of travel that was done, but was always put up at the best places and always taken care of if there were ever any problems.

Worked with a great bunch of guys, unfortunately – more... contract was lost to another company. – less

Clientle told me more appreciation for those facing greater life challenges then me, I loved imparting knowlwdge

Good job but their management team is very weak with the majority of the workforce having no respect for the management team.
Many of the employees pretty much do what they want.

Contract work for the government provides opportunities around the country.

A typical day at work is very fast paced envirnment. There are deadlines that need to met and on occassion we were given very short notice to meet those deadlines. We never failed to do so. I learned alot of different skills in this environment. I learned to mulitask and work quickly and sufficiently. I also learned more and more about the various software – more... I used as well as the positions I held.
My coworkers are all very hard workers and we all worked together towards our main objective and that was to get the job done.
The hardest part of the job was worrying if we would be able to get it all done,. but we never failed in that. Which leads to the most enjoyable part of the job, and that was knowing we did succeed and the feeling of accomplishment. – less
