Pros

Extremely interesting work, early exposure to clients, very little micro-management, good office location and plenty of opportunities to travel. A generally very friendly working environment among highly educated and interesting people from all sorts of backgrounds.

Cons

Poor salary with zero transparency over how salaries are determined, no willingness to listen to (or help) staff struggling with (sometimes, impossible) workloads, very little voiced appreciation for good work, no concern over work-life balance or respect for leave time and weekends. Misleading pledges over career development and promotion.

Pros

They do a good job at convincing staff they are a quality employer.

Cons

○ Poor work life balance (they expect CR to be your life) ○ Low pay. Only the greedy partners get paid above market value to do less work while the grunt workers are consistently paid below market value. ○ Their bonus scheme is a scheme to gaslight people into believing their salaries and bonus are valid. ○ They have a corrupt HR team who collude with corrupt principals to sabotage reputations and work product. ○ Control Risk does not stand by their DE&I mission. It is all smoke and mirrors. They appear to be very strategic in maintaining the Anglo Saxon face of their leadership team.

Pros

Strong brand in the professional services market.

Cons

Control Risks Business Intelligence practice is, to put it bluntly, a horrible place to work. It’s the textbook definition of a toxic workplace. There’s a normalised culture of exploiting researchers until they burn out. Feedback is communicated in a derogatory and denigrating manner. Overtime is commonplace. Researchers are underpaid, overworked, and actively looking for jobs elsewhere. Yet, exit options are gloom as you will not acquire any useful skills at the firm apart from knowing how to use "" for googling and muckraking. Stay away from Control Risks at all costs. If you’re interested in working in the investigations industry, there are much better companies out there.
