Pros
-Getting the benefits of a global firm while keeping a small local office culture -Nice and friendly people, easy access to top management, friendly and supportive managers and partners -Salary above average, opportunities for accelerated career progression -Very fast growth in the GCC region (as of 2024), very ambitious - aiming to be a top consulting firm -Flexible management styles, opportunities for remote work, overall better work-life balance (WLB) than in other firms (but varies from project to project / person to person)
Cons
-Although there are many projects and more great ones coming into the pipeline as the company grows and builds strong relationships with major clients, some projects might not be as exciting for people looking for particular industries / practices -Salaries are higher than average but below big 3 / major boutique firms (for some positions, significantly below) but this is compensated with a better WLB, more flexibility and opportunities for trying work across the corporate value chain early on. Same goes with perks and bonuses -Lack of oversight and structured personal development support: it suits perfectly self-driven individuals who can grow independently vs those who struggle to navigate in the unknown
