Vantaggi
I was fortunate enough to pursue a career at Risk Advisory. I worked here for more than 10 years before I decided that it was time for a new chapter in my professional life. And I am not the only one: there are many people who decided to spend some of the most formative years of their professional careers at Risk Advisory. I am lucky that I was able to learn from many of them along the way. The professional support and friendship I experienced during my decade at the company — including once I decided to move on — is something that I’ll always be grateful for. Several years ago a former colleague of mine wrote in their review on this very website that Risk Advisory is a place for those with ideas and ambition and who are willing to demonstrate ownership and accountability. Back then I was still a rookie and didn’t quite understand what this meant. Looking back at this comment now, I couldn’t agree more. Starting as a senior associate, I ended my career at the company as a member of the senior management team, having worked in three different locations and in various positions along the way. I worked hard for this, no doubt, and it wasn’t always easy. But I was always surrounded by people who had a genuine interest in furthering my career, in helping me create opportunities and supporting me along the way. A word about the people — if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have stayed as long as I did. I’ve made lifetime friends here and the knowledge, expertise and diversity represented by the entire staff is inspiring and fascinating.
Svantaggi
The investigations sector is demanding, market-driven and fast-paced. Managing clients and their expectations can be difficult and even distracting at times. Providing fact-based, reliable and actionable intelligence takes time — but time is a precious good in an industry where clients want to make decisions quickly. The inherent conflict is par for the course in this sector and can create a stressful work environment. Risk Advisory — with its unwavering dedication to top quality — is no exception. Not everyone is made for working in this sector and you need to consider carefully if this is the right environment for you, your skills and expectations.
