Pros

They do a good job at convincing staff they are a quality employer.

Cons

○ Poor work life balance (they expect CR to be your life) ○ Low pay. Only the greedy partners get paid above market value to do less work while the grunt workers are consistently paid below market value. ○ Their bonus scheme is a scheme to gaslight people into believing their salaries and bonus are valid. ○ They have a corrupt HR team who collude with corrupt principals to sabotage reputations and work product. ○ Control Risk does not stand by their DE&I mission. It is all smoke and mirrors. They appear to be very strategic in maintaining the Anglo Saxon face of their leadership team.

Pros

A global reach company with some talent at grass roots level. unfortunately there is an old boys club mentality operating cliques within the organization.

Cons

Dreadful employee employer relationships, inflexibility of senior management and too much sub contracting mean that clients are being charged 'Control Risks' prices for local sub contracted work.

Interesting company, poor middle management!

Pros

Dynamic activities and projects, interesting clients, nice office locations. Colleagues come from all walks of life and can be interesting to work with. Pretty flat organizational hierarchy, although it can be opaque sometimes. Co-located with joint venture partners that are actually friendly people!

Cons

Middle management has become way too sales-oriented, and expect employees to be sales robots. Office environment is very sterile (aka not friendly and warm). A lot of drama that is always caused by a few female employees makes the whole office environment very sour. Very quiet and not a friendly place to work. Annual bonus’ canceled year on year due to financial mismanagement. Little to no recognition for employees’ efforts.
