Good for experience, but not great for the long term - Intelligence Analyst Crisis24 Employee Review

First, the pay is poor and the culture is toxic. Crisis24 does not pay well and the yearly increases do not match inflation. If you are lucky enough to find yourself on a team led by someone who was around before the WorldAware acquisition, then you will probably have a great team culture. After Crisis24 acquired the company, things changed. Crisis24 is wholly focussed on the bottom line, rather than the individuals creating the intelligence that drives the bottom line. High performance is expected and therefore not rewarded, and it seems as if the company will use every loophole to avoid compensating/rewarding employees. Second, unless you are in a fast growing team (consulting, embedded teams), there is very little opportunity to advance your career. Promotions are very slow and requirements for promotions are ambiguous. Management has in the past actively discouraged analysts from moving out of intel teams into faster growing teams. Third, management is slowly pushing everyone back into the office. The office is located in Westlake, outside the city center, and almost inaccessible with public transport. You will need a car and if you can't afford to live in the southern suburbs, your commute will be very long. Fourth, the company does mandatory diversity training and although there is diversity among employees, there is little among management.
