Pros

Some of the nicest people I've had the opportunity to work with until you get to the CEO.

Cons

No real HR department and thus lack of care for employees. You will get used until you're burnt out and then you'll be forced out without really getting fired. Proof in the pudding, the only person left from the initial few years of the company is the CEO. Even the business partner was forced out.

Hello, thank you for your feedback and response. We would like to briefly clarify a couple things. First of all, there are times in a fast-growing business when bad practices, excess hiring, poor performance, and such may accrue unchecked and even unnoticed for a time. In these situations, companies must adjust and reorganize substantially to correct and prevent performance issues from worsening. As such, during the pandemic, Netizen went through a considerable restructuring to eliminate overhead, redundancies, and poor performing individuals and operational units that were a detriment to corporate morale and continued growth. Our exceptional growth, high morale, and superb performance since this period several years ago is a direct result of these actions taken. Secondly, the "business partner" referred to departed the company on their own accord, as all employment records and other documentation indicates. We have no further comment on this action other than multiple attempts were made by multiple people to ensure continuity via a planned transition and their continued employment, but said partner opted instead at their own discretion to depart immediately for personal reasons, as was their right to do. We harbor no resentment or ill-will and wish them the best in their current and future endeavors. Again, we really appreciate all feedback but find some of the statements in your review to be misguided and misinformed and needed to be corrected for the record to address potentially defamatory content. Thus, we hope the clarifications provided here have now addressed and corrected the statements made in accordance with all evidence to the effect. Please feel free to reach out at any time as we always welcome such discussions. Thank you.

Pros

Netizen openly shared the status of its RMF contract with employees and the surprise decision by the government to pursue a new contract for services. Netizen has kept us informed about the process.

Cons

Netizen hasn't really given us much insight about the prognosis if lose the contract. What are our options?

Thank you for your words of encouragement and feedback. Netizen is not dependent upon a single contract for our work, as we have numerous customers of substantial size around the country (and world) now in defense, commercial and federal government markets. That being said, we have a number of other of these contracts that are in need of qualified talent to support. We actively move our best talent between these contracts now to preserve their positions within the company and provide opportunities for advancement whenever there is an opening that matches a skillset. We will always communicate with our team, and ensure that everyone knows they will be taken care of to the best of our ability. It takes years to develop such a talented team, and we have no intention of giving it up so easily. If you have any questions or concerns, please email or call myself or one of our management team at any time and we will be happy to have such a conversation with you. Thank you for your feedback.
