Pros

Huge ambition, really thrived in lockdown. Switched to remote. No lay offs or furlough. Pay has progressed. Becoming a better run business, any issues are dealt with under this leadership team. Culture is benefitting from open conversations on life issues.

Cons

Home working creating longer days and huge demand. Need to find a balance

Pros

NCC Group are a 100% Cyber Security company who are doing well. Security is a huge growth area and without the overheads or baggage other, larger consultancies/SI's have. Pay reviews and bonus payments have been fair, particularly considering the impact of the pandemic. Genuine thought leadership and experience in certain areas of the organisation. Flexible working is encouraged, I was able to work from home 90%+ throughout my time. Work/life balance. Ability to work with many customers with a breadth of geography, size and sector. Regular senior management town hall updates, including a surprising openness in open Q+A.

Cons

Career development and organisational maturity. I assumed for such a large organisation that the basics I had expected throughout my career were absent. This is changing however, I suspect through staff feedback. There are now plans being rolled out gradually across the business (likely 2-3 years) to improve this: * Career path - at the time of writing there isn't a defined job role/family for all areas of the business. These are being developed. * Promotion process - it's unclear how/why promotion takes place. New roles would be created and people promoted into them seemingly without competition, formal interview and independent oversight (i.e. the absence of a formal job family/competencies). * Until very recently, there was no internal job board - it was easier to find another role outside the company than within. I think it's fair to say NCC is a sales led business, looking at the number of Account Manager reviews there are here. High transaction volume, short engagements on the whole. A company for young people. Sick pay is very limited (UK - 20 days paid a year, then SSP). Limited benefits, baseline pension and no private healthcare option.
