Pros

Smart, driven people with interesting backgrounds Ask forgiveness, not permission High energy Interesting content - you're always learning something worthwhile

Cons

Salaries are low compared to the competition. It's quite true there is an "old boys club" mentality, although that is less of a handicap than you might think. It's often macho without being particularly exclusionary.

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.
