NCC Group reviews

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.

Used to be a great place to learn from experienced colleagues, but many have now left. The senior management value profit over knowledge, as evidenced by heavy investment in an offshored Manilla office full of juniors whilst shutting down 3 U.K. offices in a year. Staff are praised for sales rather than technical excellence, possibly because no one in power grasps the nuances of technical delivery. Some very arrogant personalities at the top who are ploughing through their transformation/decimation of the company whilst forcing out those who built the company in the first place. Senior management are not visible to staff - they would rather fly around the world for photo ops than be present for the hard questions from an increasingly disgruntled workforce.
