Pros

colleagues are friendly, it's good as first job after college, good exposure to interesting topics.

Cons

the management is very old school British 'boys club' style, if you are not in that club, you bottleneck pretty quickly in the hierarchy. Highly qualified professionals tend to leave after 2-3 years, leaving the high level management not so conceiving, there are too much politics for its size of business, lack of modern forward thinking...

Great company to work for. Company cares about people on the personal level and are willing to help you grow.

Pros

You spend 98% of your time working with and communicating with your client employer. If that's a good fit, it's wonderful.

Cons

If the client terminates your role, it's likely you'll be laid off by Control Risks - unless they have a very specific role in-house or with another client to offer to you. If you're laid off by CR, it's unlikely you'll be paid severance.
