Pros

Holidays/insurance scheme are significantly above the country's average. I was lucky enough to have a line manager that was actually interested in my professional development. But this was the exception, rather than the norm. Great company to get an understanding of the impact of security/political/regulatory risks on different sectors and industries.

Cons

Although the salary was OK for Mexican standards, It could have been significantly higher. A lot of great employees seek opportunities elsewhere as the company doesn't make enough effort to retain valuable employees.

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.
