Pros

I've truly enjoyed working at Control Risks over the past few months. I've been fortunate to be surrounded by exceptionally smart consultants, which has given me the opportunity to learn more about various industries and essential skills needed in a consulting firm. The pay is good (especially for someone with limited experience in this field), the working hours are excellent, and the office environment is fantastic!

Cons

I haven't been working at Control Risks for very long, so at this point, I don’t have any complaints or recommendations.

Operates like a work-base cult with plenty of kool-aid to pass around.

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.
