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 In 2015 any company that aspires to be blue chip cannot afford to continue with such an outdated and non-inclusive culture.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.

Pros

Control Risks serves a broad range of clients offering a broad range of services. The work is international and generally exciting, and gives employees the opportunity to work internationally. Managers were generally attentive and provided good training. I came away with strong skills and great life experience.

Cons

Conflicts among management sometimes led to a difficult work environment. Communication between offices was sometimes poor, which would sometimes lead to inconsistent work product. Still, the experience was positive.
