Pros

Legatum is a unique company which sets it apart from any other I have worked for in Dubai. It is refreshing also that it follows high standards in line with those you experience and expect from a Western organisation. Legatum focuses on its mission which brings the team together along with strong values that are carried throughout every aspect of the business. The culture of Legatum makes it a great place to work, the team is full of genuine, down to earth people and the autonomous attitude means as an individual you have the opportunity to learn and grow both as a person but also in your skills. Employees are given the chance to get involved in the Philanthropic side of the business which brings a new dimension to your work and personal life. It is a hard working environment with high expectations but the company reward you and look after you providing beautiful offices, stunning café along with free lunch, afternoon teas and snacks.

Cons

Whilst you can grow and extend the responsibilities within your role, due to being a small office depending on your role there can be a limit to how far you can progress beyond that role.

Pros

Legatum is an organisation that truly prioritises its people. In addition to exceptional health benefits, a stunning office in the DIFC, forward-thinking initiatives associated with annual leave and remote working, not to mention the beautiful café, I've personally felt nurtured, supported, and encouraged by both colleagues and management. The principle of fostering freedom to flourish has not only facilitated my personal and professional growth but has also resulted in increased responsibilities and promotions showing that those who are dedicated, seize opportunities, and meet high expectations are recognised and rewarded. Beyond these benefits, my primary motivation stems from our shared commitment to our mission to help others prosper, and there is a genuine sense of unity as we celebrate successes together. I'm deeply grateful for the collaborative spirit within our team, where everyone's contributions are valued and respected. Working at Legatum is incredibly fulfilling, and personal highlights for me include the family-oriented culture, the diverse range of projects I've had the opportunity to be involved in, and the connection to our philanthropic work, which has afforded me the privilege of witnessing our efforts in the field with my own eyes. Legatum is like no other place I have worked before; a place where you feel you are making an impact and contributing to a better world.

Cons

It is worth noting that the interview process is quite rigorous, has several stages, and can sometimes take a bit of time. However, it will be worth it!
