Pros

The diversity is really the best part of this job in my opinion. Every project will give you the opportunity to learn, play with, and break new technologies. After working here for a while you will definitely be qualified for pretty much any security related job out there. Lots of extra perks like free meals and beer. Upper management listens and does there best to address employees' concerns.

Cons

Thursdays/Fridays can be rough trying to get a report finished and hours can be kind of crazy with 8AM meetings with clients in other time zones. Pay is not quite up to industry standards, but they make up for it with a fairly achievable bonus.

NCC Group Response

It is great to hear about the many positive aspects of working at NCC Group – we are proud that we our employees develop within their career with us and also as part of their wider career goals. Our senior leadership team cares about our employees wellbeing and proactively strives to resolve any matters before they may arise and we take onboard all feedback provided to us. We do work across multiple time zones and that can sometimes mean differing work schedules but we hope that later on in the day on Friday, you are able to look forward to enjoying your weekend! We are looking at solutions that face many of our business areas including potential hiring needs, however we run a referral program so if you know of any talented people, we would love to hear from you at: na-hr@nccgroup.trust

Pros

- Depending on the team - nice colleagues.

Cons

- middle management is a mess (again depending on the team). - blaming environment - make a mistake and they'll make no mistake in point that to you loud and clear. More often you might be blamed for other peoples' mistakes if you don't keep evidence of your work. - lots of pressure from management: tight and unrealistic deadlines, underestimation of the tasks so they could fit as many tickets as possible - inequality in terms of work load - some people have nothing to do and some have too much; - absolutely 0 concern for personal development: no trainings (on site or online), no career progressive, no interest for upgrading / updating people's technical skills; - forced Hackathons - twice a year: management comes with marketing ideas and then developers are literally dragged into conference rooms, assembled in teams and made putting those into practice. The prizes are a joke. - Leatherhead office - everything screams of cheap low quality appliances / facilities: air con is never working: it's either too cold or too hot; toilets need unblocking or re-work often; daily fruits look so bad most of the times... - OPS team - some of them are lazy, some of them are incompetents, some of them are so arrogant that you'd literally do anything to avoid them. More often, management would never admit that - no matter how many time the environments blow up or don't build, or the release is delayed, it's not their fault.
