Sinking Ship - Security Consultant NCC Group Employee Review

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.
