Pros

You could meet a lot of great colleagues as they have projects around the world. Trouble is great people tends to leave as there is nothing to be pursued in this organization.

Cons

All this company cares about are the money and the family members. Don't ever dream of getting to the managerial level if you are not sharing the same surname. The branches in the Middle East were not properly established, no policies are practised here - only verbal instructions from the management which change from day to day. If you are lucky to be related (friends or family) to the management, you do whatever you like - change to whichever department you like (eventhough there is no experience) or disappearing from work (you will not get into trouble whereas others may get a warning letter). No arrangements for employees development due to budget issue as usual. I have recently read an article about the CEO said how they value their employees to achieve the business success. I did not see this happening somehow.

Pros

• Great opportunity to learn and grow professionally. • Worked on a wide variety of interesting projects. • Many knowledgeable and supportive coworkers. • Strong place to build technical and project management experience. • I was able to advance my career and take on increasing responsibilities over my 11 years.

Cons

• Communication between departments often felt siloed. • Leadership could be more transparent about company decisions and policy changes. • More mentorship and support for project managers would be beneficial. • In my experience, opportunities for advancement did not always feel based solely on performance, and personal relationships sometimes appeared to carry significant influence. • Remote employees would benefit from more consistent treatment and clearer expectations. • Management styles varied significantly between departments, which led to inconsistent employee experiences. • Administrative tasks often took priority over developing project management and leadership skills.
