Working with top tech clients (FTSE 100/250). Plenty of opportunities for personal development and networking. Working with the best IT Security Pros on the market. Great remuneration packages.

Pros

- Free fruit - Some reasonably enjoyable incentive activities from time to time - If you are willing to go above and beyond by starting an hour and a half before you're due to start and finishing half an hour later than you are due to finish (without being paid extra), you might just please one of the managers enough for them to let you smell their gas.

Cons

You will go through a rigorous training period learning the ins and outs of selling NCC's (mostly misplaced and useless) product , Escrow. You will start to believe that the things you are being taught will help you become a better sales person and through hard work and some clever thinking, you will be able to make some commission from saying all the right things on those B2B cold calls. Here's the reality - The management do not care about the content of your cold calls, your strategy, your research. They say they do, but they don't. They care about how early you come to work (unpaid). They care about how long you spend on the phone in minutes. They care about how puckered up your lips are in the morning. They even care about how 'corporate' your attire is. In all seriousness, you can be a success here but you have to be prepared to sacrifice your free time, your morals and your dignity. Some of the managers (Pod leaders) would behave as though they were acts in a poorly made remake of The Wolf of Wall Street. They would have you doing 'power hours', where they would stand a group of account managers up for an hour and see who achieved the highest call time. This was an exercise that quite literally made me worse at my job, and management made me do it regardless. The reason for this is that it doesn't actually matter how good you are at this job, they want to know how much you are willing to be a yes man. Slowly but surely they ween out the weak from the strong (in their opinion) until they are left with an account manager who is so dead inside that he/she is willing to bring a sleeping bag to work and sniff the seats of all the managers when they go home.

Pros

I have found NCC to be a very good employer. They genuinely care about my development - I've had lots of training opportunities. I enjoy the variety of working with different clients while having the security of being a permanent NCC consultant.

Cons

Because we can be working on a client site for a number of months at a time it's difficult to keep in touch with colleagues working on different assignments - however to be fair to NCC they do arrange regular offsite catch sessions.
