The people and the culture are great to work with and learn from and you have the ability to get involved in some very interesting work. The management are very approachable and listen to the employees. The opportunity to move around within the company is also valuable.

Cons

The salaries at Control Risks are not known to be at the same level of some of the competitors but they are fair.

Pros

The work is often interesting and you get to work with interesting and intelligent colleagues from all sorts of backgrounds. Lots of travel opportunities and generally decent working hours and work/life balance. Can be a good place to start out for a couple of years if you're interested in security and international affairs.

Cons

Uncompetitive salaries and really terrible management with limited vision. Pay and promotions seem to be arbitrary, not based on performance or merit. Good performance tends to get rewarded with a pat on the back but not remuneration or promotion. Career development is limited. There's a huge churn rate - most talented people don't stay more than two or three years.
