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.

Pros

Senior management did not put up barriers, anyone could talk to anyone without to much hassle so long as you were respectful A great team of professionals to learn from all motivated to deliver a great service to clients internally and externally. Great location in the centre of London and near the Tube A friendly atmosphere with constant banter.

Cons

Training was not really for growth and more to comply with regulatory obligations, always felt this was a missed opportunity. Projects could often be confusing as the delivery framework was constantly changing. Unrealistic deadlines for projects with a lack of understanding of existing pressures across teams.

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.
