    What’s it like working at Nova Systems?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Nova Systems employees appreciate the positive company culture, talented colleagues, good benefits including a generous professional development allowance, and good management committed to employee engagement. However, as a fast-growing company, Nova Systems faces growing pains and frequently changes direction and structure. Employees also note potential challenges such as long periods of inactivity between projects, the variation and dynamic nature of tasking, compensation that may be lower than competitors, and workplace issues like dealing with inequities, an inexperienced sales team, and colleagues who may not fully understand the work.
