      Pros

      The people here are fantastic - really clever bunch that I've learned alot from and the majority will happily give you the time of day if you need some help. I've worked here for nearly 6 years and that hasn't changed. Flexible working, good work/life balance and opportunities to travel. The business is growing quickly which has given me many career opportunities. Incredible set of products and services offered, the end result of the work we do is very satisfying.

      Cons

      Senior management have a tendency to focus on numbers more than the people, though there have been signs of improvement in recent months.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The highest level of technical application and pioneering solutions. Diverse and very interesting client base, sense of doing the right thing.

      Cons

      There is a lot of pressure and a great sense of expectation of the staff. Little support to learn new things "just get it done". Quite arrogant assuming that they are the best company in the field

      Pros

      I've learned a lot, lots of talented people, should be in a strategic sweet spot with the global cyber agenda and has a wide range of capabilities and products to offer.

      Cons

      Corporate communications generally handled badly. Operations can be quite restrictive and sometimes negative when planning ahead. Working across business units can get messy.
