Pros

Great team of security consultants. Really some of the best in the field.

Cons

-Zero direction,support,career advise or growth plan from the management. -They expect you to be the best in the industry for the little money that they pay you. Doesn't matter your strengths or weaknesses or past experience. -Managers play the blame game instead of being mentors. They are not really people managers but consultants who evolved into managers. -There's no team culture in the company , everyone's for themselves.

Thank you for your review We can see you’re no longer working with us now, so would like to thank you for taking the time to contact us to raise your concerns. You are right, we employ some of the best security consultants in the world, and so it’s always disappointing when someone has a negative experience with us, and didn’t feel able to raise it with us during their employment. We would be keen to explore your concerns and wonder whether you would be willing to get in touch directly? At NCC Group we strive to nurture our talented teams and create an environment where they can thrive, we regret not being able to get that right for you and wish you best of luck for everything in the future.

Pros

The rewards are there to be taken but they don't come easy. Flexible working culture that is diversifying as the business transitions to a more corporate outlook. Nice offices and some great hard-working and knowledgeable people around.

Cons

Insistent ambition to evolve the business quickly comes at the cost of the staff's health and wellbeing with quality being heavily compromised in favour of speed where internal improvement projects are concerned. Perception trumps reality and it seems a shame to not be making the most of the investment and opportunity the company is receiving. For every excellent colleague you will also find an equally ornamental one although less experienced management often seem to struggle telling the difference. To truly progress, you will need to sweat a little blood.

Hello, thank you for your review. It's fantastic to see our approach to flexible working, our office spaces and our extremely talented employees are some of the pros of working at NCC Group for you. In regards to your cons around the pace of the evolving business, delivery of projects and employee wellness, it's hard to comment on these without more information but employee well-being is very important to us, we'd always recommend speaking to your line manager in the first instance but our HR Team are always on hand to help should you need them or want to reach out to them too. We hope to continue to work with us in the future, thanks again.

Hello, thank you for you review. It's great to hear you consider benefits and pays as a pro of working of your role. For your cons around the lack of career progression, we want to create career pathways for our employees so it's difficult to comment on this without understanding more however this is important to the business. We'd always recommend speaking to your line manager in the first instance and our HR team are always on hand to help should you need them. We can see you’re no longer working with us now, so would like to thank you for your time with NCC Group and wish you best of luck for everything in the future.
