Good Company Reputation and Productive and intelligent Coworkers
Consultant (Former Employee) - Reston, VA - May 1, 2022
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedNoblis is a good company overall... it's just that some of the contracts they win should be left for much smaller companies who don't have the caliber employees that Noblis recruits.

Noblis is an employee-centric firm that values innovative thought and rewards high intiative.
Senior Consultant (Current Employee) - Woodlawn, MD - December 14, 2022
Having been with the company for over a decade Noblis has lived up to its own company credo of doing your job for the best of reasons. Although, not as mature as some of the larger technology consulting firm, it has found a great niche that focuses on bringing to bear the company innovations.
Pros
Flexible work environment, employee-centric
Cons
Business development needs to mature

Left due to management pushing favoritism instead of seniority.
System Administrator (Former Employee) - Pascagoula, MS - October 27, 2022
The lead at the shipyard pushes to have friends hired and places them over people with seniority. Giving them easier jobs and allowing them to do whatever they want and if you aren't in the click you get called out for it. You never know what attitude the lead will come to work with or develop while at work. Was reported but HR seems to be more concerned on keeping crazy employed than keeping good workers. Several have left because of this and the company doesn't get the picture. No room for advancement.
Pros
they paid for one day of work that was done but still took out money after cancellation.
Cons
leaving this $]-[ithole

Not for long term growth
Programmer Analyst (Former Employee) - Baltimore, MD - September 20, 2022
Favoritism, lazy folks - get away with a bare minimum, incompetent managers, favorites are promoted and given superior work - not much quality of work available either. Stay away from this place ...not for honest and achiever.
Pros

Cons

Great place and great benefits.
Graphic Artist (Former Employee) - Washington, DC - January 1, 2022
Noblis is a great company. It has great benefits and they genuinely care about the employees. I wish I could have stayed but my contract with the subsidiary ESI didn’t work out.
Pros
Employee attention, benefits
Cons
Hard to switch elsewhere in the company.

Good company with solid culture
Technical Intern (Former Employee) - Reston, VA - November 17, 2021
Solid company for an internship. Centers around a 10-week project where you will put your coding skills to the test as well as learn new ones. Other interns are impressive, and I learned a lot from them too. Very worth it if you want to gain experience in your technical field.
Pros
Good pay for interns, numerous opportunities to learn new skills, clear project goal
Cons
Managment sometimes doesn't know what it wants out of a project

Long hours
Anonymous (Former Employee) - Not Applicable - October 17, 2021
I worked on average 75 hours a week and most weekends with the expectation of making no errors despite exhaustion. The PTO was average, about 20 days a year, with the usual holidays off, but I worked most holidays and never had a chance to use my PTO.
Pros
Christmas bonus
Cons
Long hours and weekend work

Great place to work
Data Scientist (Current Employee) - Reston, VA - October 10, 2021
A great place for an early career professional to work. The culture is pretty great, and while the work/life balance is dependent on your office, I haven’t heard of anyone who couldn’t find the balance they wanted. Good benefits, though the maternity/paternity leave is pretty disappointing compared to other tech/defense companies. Noblis had a great COVID response (remote work, communication with all employees, safety measures for those who have to work in the office)
Pros
Supportive coworkers, good managers, good vision
Cons
Clique mentality in some teams, maternity/paternity leave is just ok

Jobs at Noblis
Small enough to learn and grow, great work/life balance
Product Owner (Current Employee) - Arlington, VA - March 22, 2021
Noblis is a great place to work, the teams are fairly small so you have the opportunity to work on a lot of different projects and diversity your experience along the way. The culture is pretty good too, work life balance is good. One negative I have experienced is research project teams definitely get a preference, even if in some cases they are not deserving.

Join for a career not just a job
Senior Manager (Current Employee) - Reston, VA - October 12, 2020
This is a high impact career choice for highly achieving customer oriented technical professionals who are generally regarded as subject matter experts in their field. Team oriented but focused on the individual. Equitable pay with exceptional benefits. Great management who really care about their staff. Many opportunities to grow as well as to expand into other areas.
Pros
Benefits are top tier, people are fantastic
Cons
High expectations for an often challenging set of government clients

Generally a good place to work
IT Business Analyst (Former Employee) - Falls Church, VA - March 12, 2020
I really liked Noblis at first - there were a lot of opportunities to learn and grow. The teams that I worked on were phenomenal. By my 5th year there they had some issues with contracts...as a result I did software testing for something like 3-4 years - I was unable to meet many of my "yearly goals" and "growth goals" as a result of the type of work that was available at that time in that company. If they had not had to RIF a number of people, I would still be working there.

Stale, poor management, unreliable work
JPSS Study Lead (Former Employee) - Greenbelt, MD - February 18, 2020
Promised tasked orders not complete. False work orders. Management communication non existent. Constant micromanagement. Company cares more about share holder value.

Mostly Nothing Special
Senior Program Manager (Current Employee) - Washington, DC - July 25, 2019
Your experience really depends upon your chain of command and your client/contract. My experience with the client and the client's chain of command was excellent. They were nice and flexible. The work, however, was boring and sometimes arguably not really in scope.
The Noblis chain of command was not good. Focus was seemingly on money. They demanded off-time business development work annually. They would ding you on your bonus for not doing this. My task order manager was nice mostly, but inexplicably he hurt me on my review and bonus for no reason at all other than he was upset at me about not responding to his last minute email while I was on travel. We remained friendly, but I lost respect for him.
The benefits are pretty good. The insurance is UHC Choice Plus, and there is an excellent 401K program.

Exciting work, comfortable work culture, premium facilities, nice people
PM (Current Employee) - Reston, VA - January 23, 2019
For the most part Noblis has a good culture, most managers have good ethics and care about their employees. People are passionate about their work and serving the client missions, it most certainly is not about the bottom line.
The non-profit culture is different for most and not as conducive for advancement for someone at my career stage. Less investment is made in employee development and lacks organizational structure in key areas.
Pros
Flexibility, Excellent Tuition Reimbursement, Premier Building Facilities, Expert Visiting Speakers, Benefits, Ethical, Technical Innovation
Cons
Lack of employee development, properly staffing roles, pockets of challenged leadership and management, highly introverted staff
