Control Risks reviews about "team"

Lack of recognition, long working hours, micro-management. Low pay with no real benefits and no pay rise over a year, which is basically a pay cut considering the current economic context. Bonuses are non-existent due to financial challenges, yet they keep having the same excuse for many years despite high profit margins. They keep postponing promotions, yet they have been promoting people in the down low, which screams lack of transparency and ethics. They expect you to go beyond your tasks, yet no recognition or promotion in sight (unless you are cliquey with the senior management), with a mediocre pay and long hours. Only good side is building your resume but don't last here too long. Very cliquey, obvious favouritism from management to the team. They keep complaining about the high turnover rates but do nothing about it. They hire managers not for their expertise, but to bring money, so you end up working for a manager who is incompetent and has no knowledge of the actual practice, only know how to sell work. All talk and no action.

Not an inclusive culture. Diversity and inclusion is just a slogan, if you don’t match what they favour in terms of demographics, you are not part of the team. You will be invited to different team building events but no one will hang out with you. You would be intentionally excluded from discussions that are key to your growth and performance. Growth/development opportunities are not based on merits. So it you are from a minority group/ belong to certain faith group, please do not consider this company as people will label you differently.

Weekend work is required now and then.

Only management team who gets the benefits

At the moment I don't see any cons

No strategic intelligence to take the team forward, way below industry average salary

○ 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.

Senior management are clowns. they too busy with their egos and trying to be comedians (literally). No support. Everyone in the office is competing with each other. You won't learn much here as you would at smaller firms.
