Pros

Nature of the work is always interesting, we're at the forefront of any crisis/news/business situation all the time Job benefits are not too bad Work life balance

Cons

Senior management seem blind to their subordinate's misdoings - not very qualified for the job HR support and as a feedback channel is not present in every country Learning and professional development is tough because managers care about themselves and how they appear in front of senior management

Pros

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.
