Pros

Diversity of work, always paid on time with overseas travel Good job (but don't expect a career!) - use as a stepping stone onto something else after 2-3 years

Cons

Underpaid and over-priced when compared to market. Don't value staff, everyone is a number; unless you are a white British male and ex-UK military; preferably ex-Green Jackets or Paras to get promoted to management Don't value employees professional memberships or certifications. Management not always based on capabilities, more of which regiment you went to. Partnership model (vs. employee owned) has created silos and reduced collaborative approach

Pros

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

Bonus scheme isn't the motivator they think it can be.

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.
