Operates like a work-base cult with plenty of kool-aid to pass around.

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Very bad culture

Senior financial analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Growing business but I don’t think it will benefit you if you don’t come from a certain ethnic origin etc.

Cons

Not an inclusive culture. Diversity and inclusion is just a slogan, if you don’t match what they favour in terms of demographics, you are not part of the team. You will be invited to different team building events but no one will hang out with you. You would be intentionally excluded from discussions that are key to your growth and performance. Growth/development opportunities are not based on merits. So it you are from a minority group/ belong to certain faith group, please do not consider this company as people will label you differently.
