Pros

Usually has decent working hours, small team so there is a decent variety of work, opportunity to take part in each stage of the project life cycle.

Cons

Poor management, lack of real expertise, sales focus, not family friendly, inconsistent goals that change with changes in leadership, poor staff retention, brain drain. I did not feel I learned that much from the people I worked with, there was very much a "work it out for yourself" mentality.

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.
