Delusional company with no future prospects - werkgeversreview Senior Consultant bij Control Risks

*Homogeneous senior management (British, male, ex-government or journalist background) who promote and pay them selves bonuses at the expense of staff who add real value. Definitely a club mentality that exists. *If you are not a "native English speaker" (not Caucasian), you do not have any future here. Your work will always be inferior. Don't expect any significant promotions. *Poor financial management. The company ran it's finance to the ground from haphazard spending as well as poor account management. It's account receivables (primarily law firms) is astounding and probably not recoverable. The firm still refuses to acknowledge that working with law firms who don't pay on time is a bad way of doing business! *Ones dimensional way of thinking about its strategy. (Hire more people to increase revenue, we are control risks - clients should come to us for our reputation). The company operates in a highly competitive and niche market where smaller and cheaper companies who utilize technology and more efficient operations are gaining market share and working on tight margins. The company is delusional in thinking it's name has any brand equity amongst clients. *Mercurial company policies which protects unfair practices by senior management and is subject to change at the management as discretion. *Questionable values (ethics). The company recently hired a non executive director to provide strategic input and moral stewardship to the company. The said executive was once questioned by US government agencies during her tenure at a multinational bank about being implicated in facilitating money laundering for south American drug cartels. See "Dirty Money" on Netflix for more details. Again excellent choice for a moral steward and certainly reflects the company's values.
