Fake Reviews and Buying Likes
Pros
None its finished at NCC Group.
Cons
Where do I start, NCC Group has been on a downward trajectory when since MM the new CEO took over. Since the layoffs pentesting has been looked down upon by upper management like a colony of lepers. It is more than clear that there is no future at NCC Group for pentesting unless you are cheap off-shored Manila resource then you have a future until the clients leave. The clueless leadership team have destroyed what was once a world class security team for a quick buck. Only now too many have left and therefore our CHECK and specialist capabilities are diminished. To try and boost the team until the inevitable downfall of NCC Group, they have asked consultants who were promoted to give a review on glass door. Note this email was sent only to those who were promoted (with a title and mere 10% increase) anyone who wasn't promoted did not receive this email for obvious reasons. They state in the email "as a key member of our team" does this mean those who were not promoted are not key members? The treatment of the consulting team is disgusting, whilst the SLT team try to buy likes to coax in unsuspecting talent they neglect the majority of the consultant team with lack of payrises and benefits (Most competitors offer paid training and private medical at least but if you are under managing consultant, NCC don't care if you get sick). The SLT infact boast about the Manila office having basketball courts and fancy offices (after closing most of the UK offices). I wish it was a joke but when you get no pay rise the last thing you want to see is money that could have been spent helping you live through tough times spent on a basketball course. With any luck more reviews will come in and this ridiculous attempt at positive review bribery will backfire.
