The most rewarding organisation I have worked for

Pros

Control Risks is a superb place to work and holds all of the key characteristics you would hope to see in a top employer. Decisive leadership, a supportive culture, opportunity for progression, role autonomy and a hugely dedicated, fun workforce. The company is dynamic, forward thinking and unafraid to enter new markets. The services offered are some to be proud of and there is a daily sense of achievement in all of the work that is produced. Communication in the workplace is excellent, with staff made aware of all relevant updates in terms of service offerings and client relevant information.

Cons

Naturally with an SME there is some process still to be tweaked and formalised, however the general operations work extremely well.

Pros

There are some excellent people at the low and mid manager levels, and some very impressive people out on the ground in the far flung places of the company.

Cons

The experience here as a woman was thoroughly demeaning and I was shocked at some of the things I saw in this regard. In 2015 any company that aspires to be blue chip cannot afford to continue with such an outdated and non-inclusive culture. As per other commentators - a leadership team comprised solely of white, middle aged men means the business misses out on the benefits that diversity brings. A shame, this company could be so great. Salary not competitive based on experience and quality of staff - it was mentioned to me that Control Risks looks good on your CV and that should be considered part of the package.
