Pros

Good systems and tools and flexible working.

Cons

The leadership in the middle east is a challenge. They lack diversity of background and thought which makes promotions and other related decisions sometimes biased; selections of leaders are based on relationships rather than merit so very hard for an outsider to fit in. They act as if they care about employees but in fact they don't and there's lack in transparency.
