      Digital Intelligence-A miss mash of poor management

      Security manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get paid every month without fail.

      Cons

      Multiple systems. And nonsense policies. This lot love to play James Bond but it’s all nonsense. Low skilled people placed in premium management positions that don’t progress because they can’t but create lots of noise and waste vast amounts of time and money.

      Good place to work but salary structure needs updating

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great opportunities to work on some fantastic products and with some really great people. Good work life balance and flexibility with hybrid working

      Cons

      Salary structure needs an overhaul from top to bottom. Annual variance in pay rises between lower levels (professional and manual staff) and middle management (executives) is consistently a cause for concern for those in middle management roles as the executive reward package degrades year on year when compared with those in the professional and manual roles who are represented by a union, therefore generally receive higher percentage salary increases and also receive paid overtime, despite generally working fewer hours than executives on average. However, executive bonus scheme is pretty good - although as per most company bonus schemes it is wholly dependent on company financial targets and individual performance.
