Noblis Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Noblis full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Noblis has a new career roadmap that tells the employee what they have to do to get head. They provide a great work/life balance I have not seen elsewhere. They provide a collaborative work environment, individual development and a supportive management team. They have a liberal telecommuting policy. Most employees still get yearly bonuses based on company performance.

Cons – Employees need more communications to them.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to win new work.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Noblis for more than 10 years

Pros – This used to be a great place to work especially with the large number of SMEs. If you are under 35 this is still a very good place to work. Try to pick the brains of the remaining SMEs. If you are under 35 I would give 4 stars for career opportunities otherwise stay away. Noblis used to do the high end work but with more staff just out of school and SMEs leaving this will not happen much any more.

Cons – Company is finding numerous ways of RIFFING "older staff." If you are over 50 and looking for work stay away from Noblis. Upper management is cliquish and secretive. The closer you get to Amr the more you need to be a Yes Man/Woman

Advice to Senior Management – Beware if you do not turn the company around you will be RIFFED also

Current Employee – been working at Noblis full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Technical leaders have a decent amount of freedom. The company allows reasonably flexible work hours. The cafeteria at headquarters is nice.

Cons – The company leadership is gradually changing the culture to emphasize a for-profit mindset, yet the company retains its non-profit status. The roots of the company originate within the FFRDC world, so there is an academic sort of heritage that is gradually disappearing.

Advice to Senior Management – Abandon the non profit status and overhaul compensation model.

Former Employee – worked at Noblis full-time for more than a year

Pros – Company took care of their employees, and made sure they were happy in their positions. They were above the standard as far as technology within the industry. Amr, the CEO, took care of his employees and their wellness as a person, not just a Noblis employee. If you had any issues, it could be brought up to him directly, as he was very down to earth, and even paid for a few lunches.

Cons – Some lack of communication between various departments, when they are achieving the same goal.

Current Employee – been working at Noblis

Pros – Lots of smart, knowledgeable people
Great reputation and continued effort to be ethical and fair
Lower level employees able to focus primarily on client delivery
Opportunities to participate in company wide events, charity work etc.
Company rewards its employees for hard work
"Profits" reinvested in company rather than being distributed to a partnership
Identity and brand are gaining steam; future potential seems high

Cons – Moving to competitive contracts has required reductions in overhead costs
Company still has MITRE like roots/org structure its trying to shed
Limited external training opportunities; may change once rates are under control
MITRE carryovers have mentality of know it alls; not adapting well to changing environment
Older organization (average age) and high insurance costs

Advice to Senior Management – Continue down the path we are headed; long standing staff may not agree or completely understand the direction we're headed but its necessary for our survival; mid level staff/low level managers need more training in business development; leverage "newer" staff that have experience in these areas elsewhere as there are many "diamonds in the rough" which can help propel us forward; help ease the growing pains for all
