Pros

A strong 9-5.30 culture. You won't be expected to work overtime. A few good people, looking a bit bewildered in the middle of a fenland dystopia

Cons

To misquote Einstein, the definition of insanity is to do the same things over and over again, expecting different results. This is the groundhog day I experienced at ITG Ltd. I get the impression management think they are on to a real winner: people need ITG and cyber skills, we can help. The reality is that the marketing and sales staff have little in-depth understanding of their topics, and the area of focus just keeps getting larger ("need an ISO standard... We're the experts!") The result is an endless churn of emails (sent to purchased mailing lists!) wafer-thin blog posts, web pages, 3rd party products, press releases, new geographic websites. Endlessly growing a team with no idea of what they'll do each day. If we keep doing what worked last year, we'll keep growing! There is no product direction, and certainly no in-house products capable of driving growth. I spent my time at ITG trying to spread a few hours work over an 8-hour day. It was a nice break for a while, but got very dull very quickly. And I'd second the other reviewer: The chairs are the cheapest of the cheap, and the bonuses are not as described in interview. Of course the employment contracts don't include detail on the bonus scheme, so when your first pay packet is a disappointment, you have no-one to blame but yourself. Benefits are non-existent (although maybe they have a pension scheme by now) and you'll be expected to take 3 of your holiday days over Christmas, reducing the already meagre allowance.

Pros

-Well paid for an area like Ely -Some good people working there who really want to make a difference

Cons

How long have you got? -The founder. Never have I met a more impersonal leader. A man not interested in making his company a happy place to work, or taking the time to be personable with his staff/minions. If you want your staff to care about what they do, and turn the fortunes of this company around, create a workplace that demonstrates a consideration for its employees and perhaps you may see results. - Small town business mentality. You know those stereotypes of small town businesses? I.e. one toilet for everyone to share, insipid Wernham Hogg type office layout. All apparent here at ITG. - A HR team with no clue how to handle staff conflicts. - Staff members forced into positions of power, by the ITG Hierarchy, for which they are not professionally trained and are unable to handle the responsibility which comes with it. - Lack of ethnic minorities: One big total white wash. Coincidence? I'm not sure. It's 2018, ITG. Maybe take a step back and look into your hiring policy?

Pros

The pay is quite good, however, they don't pay overtime and have very illogical processes that make easy matters complicated and therefore is not as favorable as initially suggested.

Cons

Unable to calculate bonusses correctly and or on time. Working out what you had been paid for was always guess work and clarification was hard to come by. Upon termination of contract refused to pay bonuses that were previously shown on pay slip. Got sacked for refusing to work on Christmas Eve. Used outdated technology and had a problem with us using our own 4k monitors etc. Seemed to have an issue with highlighting process violations the offending members of staff and CEO. Really poor chairs, did little to remedy. Bad lighting. Would not purchase equipment required for extensive testing. If you have any suggestions make sure you make them to your line manager as otherwise they may seem threatened. Do not highlight your teamleaders elementary mistakes in security training material that the company sends out as to its customers as again this may make your boss look like an idiot and could threaten your position.
