Honest review of the current state at NCC for pentesters #nobribery

Pros

Some of the remaining pentesters are brilliant - not worth joining the company for so just connect on LinkedIn

Cons

At NCC Group, pentesters are treated like second-class citizens by upper management, resembling a colony of lepers. The toxic work culture is palpable, with pentesters feeling undervalued and mistreated. It's been over two years since most pentesters received a pay rise, while the clueless leadership team focuses on quick profits rather than nurturing a world-class security team. Promotions are handed out arbitrarily, with only a select few receiving a meager 10% increase and leaving others feeling disposable. The disparity in treatment between seniors (managing consultants and above) and the rest of the team is appalling, with the latter neglected in terms of pay rises and benefits. While the SLT boasts about amenities in the Manila office (where NCC is attempting to replace pentesters with cheap offshoring), UK-based employees are left to fend for themselves, feeling abandoned and unappreciated. This attempt at positive review bribery is not only ridiculous but insulting to those who have endured years of mistreatment and neglect. The toxic environment at NCC Group has reached such extremes that consultants are leaving the company in droves, unprecedented in its history. Consequently, NCC Group finds itself severely lacking in consultants with essential skills, forcing those who remain to overcompensate and overwork, pushing many to burnout.

Pros

Some really nice people there but they are all under continuous stress, fear and frustration

Cons

I've worked in NCC for the most part of my career and I also played my part, a small one, in helping the company progress. I have experienced the company's rise under Cotton's leadership, the incredible momentum and morale, I've seen the fall that led Cotton's departure. I worked and flourished during Adam's leadership; a time where much of the lost ground was regained. But I was never ready to experience what came after this. Witnessing the company we will loved, collapsing, being defiled for absolutely no reason. Seeing the new management's decisions can only make you think whether they care in growing or killing the firm. I'm afraid it's past the point of no return now. The only positive is the fact that new companies emerge from NCC's ashes and will hopefully carry the flame. A new era has come.
