Pros

I've discovered that the rest of life's bad things aren't so bad after all.

Cons

Seeing how managers deny the obvious day after day, and how they treat us in the worst imaginable ways, mentally shatters you. They deceive you, telling you they're working on improving, when all they care about is lining their pockets. Consultants leave (some without having another job) because day-to-day life in this company is a real hell.

Pros

Remote working and Flexibility of working in the office

Cons

There is zero training, zero participation opportunities for conferences locally let alone international. Zero opportunities to grow. There were some awesome people to work with, who have left by now. Senior leadership is a joke and the way they do promotions and payrises is also another joke. There is no place as a Manager / Director if you are not white. (Excluding the 1 token ex-comm leader). With the offshore center, soon there wont be much to stick around for anyway. There is so much Greenwashing and Woke washing you would think this is a laundry business not consulting one. Also dont bother speaking with HR to raise complaints. They will always tow the company line no matter the case. HR are there to protect the company not the individual

Pros

Absolutely non. The talent that NCC attracted have all moved on from this hell hole.

Cons

I wish I could offer a more positive perspective, but my experience at this company has been far from satisfactory. As a former employee, I feel it's important to provide an honest account of my time here. First and foremost, the lack of training provided by this organization is astounding. From day one, I felt thrown into the deep end without a life raft. The absence of proper onboarding and continuous learning opportunities has left me struggling to keep up and feeling utterly unsupported. It's disheartening to see how little investment is made in the professional growth of their employees. Speaking of growth, the overwhelming feeling at this company is one of stagnation. The potential for personal and career advancement seems nonexistent. Promotions are like mythical creatures, rarely seen and even harder to obtain. The lack of clear career paths and the absence of mentorship have resulted in a workforce trapped in a state of perpetual sameness. It's like being stuck in a time loop, watching the world move forward while we remain static. Now, let's address the CEO. There's really no better way to put it – the CEO's behavior and leadership style are nothing short of abhorrent. A term like "cunce" might seem harsh, but it's a fitting description for the sheer arrogance and disrespect displayed towards employees. The utter lack of empathy and understanding trickles down through the ranks, creating an environment where concerns are brushed aside and morale sinks to new lows. As for the culture, it can be summed up in two words: corporate yes collective. Dissent or critical thinking are clearly unwelcome here. It's as if the company is run by a cult of yes-men and yes-women who blindly follow the whims of leadership, even if it means ignoring glaring issues or detrimental decisions. This blind obedience stifles innovation and creates an atmosphere of conformity that is suffocating. And if things weren't dire enough, consider this: the company's share price has plummeted by a staggering 50%. This dramatic decline in value speaks volumes about the mismanagement and poor decision-making that plagues the organization. It's a glaring indicator of the company's downward spiral. And let's not forget the absurdity of outsourcing. Yes, you read that right – the company has resorted to outsourcing, a move that reeks of desperation and disregard for the talents of its own employees. This decision not only erodes trust but also further tarnishes the company's reputation. In conclusion, my time at this company has been a distressing journey through a landscape of inadequate training, stunted growth, toxic leadership, plummeting share prices, and bewildering outsourcing decisions. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone seeking a fulfilling and supportive work environment. For those considering joining, I strongly recommend thinking twice and exploring other options that value employee development and individuality.

Our new leadership team has a breadth of experience from both inside and outside the cyber security industry and they are highly focused on executing our new business strategy that aims to build a healthy and resilient business that invests in training and creating exciting opportunities for its people.
