Pros

Work with some great companies to provide their services. Some genuine people in the organisation that try their best to help.

Cons

Overall, the company is in a challenging and declining state. Significant redundancies have been made, and no pay increases have been offered this year. However, this contrasts sharply with the substantial investment currently being made into refurbishing the offices. There is a clear and overwhelming focus on preparing the business for sale, resulting in cost-cutting measures across virtually every area of the company. As others have noted, a "sales tax" was introduced that deducts a percentage from the total contract value. This deduction is then taken from the profit margins — the very metric on which sales staff commissions are based — which has understandably caused frustration among the team. The current environment has led to a noticeable drop in morale, with many employees adopting a "sloped shoulders" mentality. Support for staff is minimal, and there’s a pervasive sense of micromanagement. Autonomy is lacking, with many systems heavily restricted, creating a culture that feels more controlling than empowering. The main motivation for writing this review is the recent email sent to employees asking for positive feedback. Given the current state of affairs, I believe it’s important that an honest perspective is shared.

Pros

Nothing - other than being able to remote work

Cons

Do not work here - the biggest issue with this company is the head of SOC, They do not treat the analysts with respect, and they perpetuate a burnout and toxic work environment. The pay is also incredibly poor and the company prioritises numbers rather than any development, T1's are hired and baited with the idea of promotion and dumped excessive work loads and given no training. The head of soc treats nobody with respect and does not accept any criticism at all. Complaints have been made by so many people as turnover rate is enormous and yet nothing is done about it. I was sworn at after a night shift by the head of the SOC and was called privately after I publically tried to argue in favour of something the head of soc disagreed with.

Pros

Lots of very nice and genuinely helpful colleagues that will take the time to help you. Training was good and offers a new starter a non rushed and comprehensive insight into using the tools you will be using for the job. Lots of opportunities to learn new technologies as the they have a large client base utilising multiple technologies.

Cons

Staff morale was low during my time of employment, unfortunately this really took the shine off for me. I was placed onto a shift working solo after just a two months of passing the training period, this looks to be a common practice for when cover is unavailable. For me this was extremely stressful and something i felt was unreasonable, my line manager offered some reassurances that they would attempt to ensure i was not working alone again, but i noticed other colleagues where still been placed on shifts this way afterwards. Seeing this i lost confidence that this was something they could reassure me of.
