      Pros

      The people here are fantastic - really clever bunch that I've learned alot from and the majority will happily give you the time of day if you need some help. I've worked here for nearly 6 years and that hasn't changed. Flexible working, good work/life balance and opportunities to travel. The business is growing quickly which has given me many career opportunities. Incredible set of products and services offered, the end result of the work we do is very satisfying.

      Cons

      Senior management have a tendency to focus on numbers more than the people, though there have been signs of improvement in recent months.

      Very diverse company still trying to find its focus under new 'applied intelligence' banner

      Pros

      World leading technology, great people, hugely diverse across commercial & government, beginning to get true global footprint, 'Detica' has a great brand on the CV. Great work life balance.

      Cons

      Internal politics is the worst I've ever seen, not a true meritocracy, new strategy every year, new operating model every year. Fundamentally this is a medium sized company, being forced to play in the big company arena - and struggling to do so.
