Pros
Really Knowledgeable Colleagues, who are passionate about what they do. Open door policy is my experience - just ask the question if you need something - be it from HR to MD to MSS teams etc. Functional heads are very open, approachable and easy to deal with - what do we need to do for the customer and lets look how we will do. Plenty of training options available - be it from vendors or external training if you want same. Different activities at various times from fun days to nights out etc. - this is good as you get to know your colleagues in other departments, who may operate on our 24 x 7 services or be working on customer locations for long periods of time, or in wider business i.e. UK and other locations, but come together for these events. There is a significant customer first focus, which is really refreshing. You get to operate with some really great security consultants, who want to understand the customers requirements and invest themselves in the solution or the project. A really nice and cool thing, is a welcome email on new joiners, so an introductory email is sent out internally with a short bio on you prior to joining - nice little piece is my view and then it is supported by new joiners pizza sessions in boardroom where you get to meet your new colleagues. So when you see new colleagues in office, you already know who they are and can say hello. I have a lot of experience in the corporate environment and prior to joining and as part of my research on Integrity360 within my network and some well respected professionals in same- all spoke very highly of the company, their ability and their customer base etc- that has been my experience to date.
Cons
All companies have challenges be they large or small in size, but it is how you deal with them, so for example here - I would say internal communications should be a bit more frequent i.e. monthly etc. and over last month or 2, seems to be improving - so lets maintain it.
