Pros

Will share honest opinion about the company .. I attended CTP in December. Good things: they take care of your travel and stay in Dubai and its very good. Small company .. startup culture,... u learn a lot .. people are friendly .. and try for team building

Cons

Don't depend on this for job ... you have no idea how much you will repent later on even if u may be highly interested in this job or company. Selection process is long and and has many rounds which can be easily clubbed and not necessary and questionable as well because in CTP on an average 1 in 5 people are selected .. This job includes shifts .. 2 weeks morning then 2 weeks evening .. then 2 weeks night and its 6 days job at a stretch .. 15k dirham pm in Dubai is not much as cost of living is also high there .. you would only be able to afford a studio apartment near metro as taxi and outside food is costly. Their CTP is the worst part ... as after qualifying around 10 rounds .. u get rejected there .. .there they don't share notes and randomly people come to take lectures which are not in sync which creates a lot of confusion and they just throw things at you in bits and pieces making it very difficult to comprehend and then they reject you for not keeping up .. they even dont allow everyone to complete CTP and reject midway .. basically its very intense and fast paced and is aimed more at challenging you than enabling you ... My advice is apply for it only if you have some other job and you can go there and explore for yourself and resign only after you get selected there .. but don't depend on it for job .. again saying you will regret the time you will invest in this long process.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We always welcome feedback and our team constantly works hard to reflect and improve. For a fast paced industry like ours which changes in a fraction of seconds, it is usual to feel a lot of pressure and stress and so we make sure that we are hiring and keeping only the most effective people. We have refined our recruitment process and it doesn't take more than 4 weeks to complete all the interview stages and attend our CTP (Cobblestone Training Programme). The CTP which is the last part of our hiring gives you exposure to our business tools. We assess your practical skills and the ability to quickly pick up new concepts. We regret to know that you had a bad experience. We would like you to note that competition for jobs at Cobblestone is always strong and that we often must make difficult choices between many high-calibre candidates. This is, in no way, a reflection of your capabilities – just a misfit between your skillset and the job requirements for this role. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.
