They recruiting agency sent me a job desciption where I had to be only SC cleared and on the top of my CV said very big "EU Settled SC Cleared Architect" The company HR also saw this and once i joined, they had my SC transferred to them and then they said that I had to be British to work in the projects. They dismissed me 2 months after I joined and after my SC clearance was transferred to them. I never worked on any project.

Ambitious growth, interesting clients, and a lot of smart, motivated people. When work is flowing, delivery pace is high and there is genuine scope to build capability. If the organisation stabilises and matures, it could become a strong place to work.

Despite presenting itself as progressive and broad-based, the organisation strongly favours ex-military white males in hiring, influence, and promotion. Decision-making is highly centralised and often driven by the CEO’s personal views rather than consistent strategy or evidence. Growth has outpaced foundations. When work is not won quickly enough, risk is effectively passed to employees through sudden role changes or exits, rather than absorbed by the business. There is a strong focus on profit maximisation, cost reduction, and optics around IP and software products, much of which feels overstated in practice. Training investment has reduced, workloads are often unsustainable, and delivery pressure is constant. There is a noticeable sense that the business is being positioned for sale, which shapes priorities in ways that do not always benefit staff or long-term capability.
