Pros

The general Company attitude is that if you work hard you will be rewarded in kind. A combination of hard intelligent work, along with the company's expert product set will allow any Account Exec to thrive. It is great to know that your progression through the company is solely reliant on the results you achieve, meaning that if you put the work in then progress will be made. It is also motivating to work with many like minded and driven individuals, ranging from Graduates to Senior Management. Uncapped commission helps also.

Cons

You have to be knocked back many times in order to succeed, so a strong drive and motivation is required to push through this.

Pros

Well respected within the industry. Opportunities to get involved in many interesting and impactful projects for well-known clients.

Cons

Upper management has no interest in meaningful engagement with employee concerns. Minimal pay increases over the last few years have led to overall decline in employees' compensation in real terms. Continued layoffs, including one large cull in North America in February 2025 which wasn't even acknowledged by senior management. Ultimately, the company is at the mercy of ruthless investors who are in it for their own short term profit (e.g. Kelso Group). Overall morale has been killed, numerous key people left and gone forever. Plenty of opportunities for juniors in Philippines but over time they'll have less and less experienced staff to learn from. High-profile customers are already leaving as the inevitable loss of quality starts to bite -- eventually NCC Group will become just another shoddy penetration testing company delivering no value to customers while the current crop of investors laugh all the way to the bank.
