Pros

At The Circus Group, an employee becomes so immersed and familiar with compliance issues that they can immediately call themselves an industry expert. This is because The Circus Group is itself, a compliance issue. An employee will quickly learn how to not run a business, how to treat employees like garbage, how to plagiarise and many more. Rejects-sanctuary. The vast majority of the managers and directors in this company are mediocre employees from larger companies who are not competent enough to progress in their previous jobs or got laid off. They will never be a manager or director in any other company besides The Circus Group. These are same the yes-men who smile and agree with everything the Supreme Leader Scott Lane says, and then go and spread negative rumours about him when they are having their lunch breaks. This behavior is the bread and butter of a successful employee at The Circus Group. Very gullible and naive management team. If you want to succeed in this company, be the best liar that you can be. You will get promoted quickly and join the ranks of the puppets that are playing their "game of thrones" at the top. Dishonesty, having a poker-face and backstabbing is heavily rewarded and encouraged by senior managers. A lot of comic relief, the owner of the company is the most amusing human being in the compliance industry. Supreme Leader Scott Lane makes outrageous statements that could be in the script of the next Horrible Bosses movie: "if you want more money, just leave my company and work for a bank" "i always invest in my employees, given that my company has increased its revenue over the past year, i will remodel the bathroom and the pantry. you will appreciate that more than a salary increment" "my company generates more revenue than public listed companies in Europe" "the compliance industry is for lawyers who could not get a job, old women and boring people. However, the red flag group is cool and sexy" "red flag group products are like the rolls royce of the industry, we gather a lot of client data and try to replicate, duplicate and mass produce it. simply repackaging and reselling previous reports will generate more money"

Cons

There are no cons in The Circus Group. Everything is perfect according to the Supreme Leader Scott Lane. The Circus Group is a leader in the industry and creates top-notch products and services for their thousands of clients all over the world. Even the competitors of the Circus Group envies the visionary leadership of the Supreme Leader. The Circus Group has the ability to make its employees appreciate their next job a million times over.

Pros

I have been working at The Red Flag Group for over 4 years. During this time, I've held a couple of roles and done a variety of assignments. The pros of working at The Red Flag Group are: 1) Opportunity to work on a variety of assignments 2) Chance to work with cross-functional groups on various matters 3) Chance to work with people from the company's global offices on international assignments 4) Opportunities for business travel 5) No office politics I think the best thing about working here is you do have the chance to move up or laterally if you put the work in, and make a verbal case for why you deserve something greater. I think if you are a young attorney or business person, you will want to check this firm out. You'll have a stronger voice here than in many other places.

Cons

The only two negative I can think of is frequent calls/meetings outside the 9-5. Because the firm is global, you will most likely need to take calls sometimes earlier than 9 or after 5. This can be hard when you have hobbies to pursue or family matters to attend to. 2)

Pros

There is something new everyday with our various client projects. You get to work on 3rd party due diligence, rewriting policies, technology, training, risk assessments, etc. all in the same week. Great people. The people on our team work hard and care about what they do. We have a great cross section of people with in-country experience and legal/compliance backgrounds. Room to grow - Our careers at The Red Flag Group are only limited by how much we want to grow ourselves. If you want to get involved in complex projects, there is a place for you. The Firm offers robust training and invests in its people. I feel like I'm improving the world but helping companies avoid misconduct, bribery and corruption. There are real, human costs to these activities and I feel as though I helping address this global problem. We are innovators - I feel like The Red Flag Group is pushing the envelope with what a compliance-focused professional firm can do. We are expanding into exciting new areas that makes us unique in the marketplace. We aren't just a due diligence provider and can take a holistic view to address client needs.

Cons

Being part of a global team can mean taking calls and meetings at odd hours.
