Pros

Hybrid working model within the company

Cons

The company doesn’t care about peoples livelihood. I’ve seen three people being dismissed for whatever reason and a whole team being “retrenched” according to them. Nothing was done to try and minimize the retrenchment, which at the end was more of a dismissal more than anything. Very strange that they can consider retrenchment when we are heading to festive season as well. Seems like a great company at first, but it’s really bad.

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.
