Pros

- Flexible working hours. - Staff are all respectful and decent. - Best medical insurance compared to any other company I worked with. - Salary is above the average of Egypt's companies. - Work-life balance. - Space to try new things and learn. - Stability, if you like a place to work with for many year it would be perfect.

Cons

- You stay at the same position for very long time, there's no space and very little to no opportunity to get prompted to higher position. - There's no actual performance review, or at least when conducted no body care. - You work on 1-2 projects for very long time. - No clear career progression, hence you get only your annual raise and you can't for example jump to more senior or leading role.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
