Pros
• HR was very supportive during my onboarding and always available to guide me and answer my questions.
• The company provided generous amenities for newcomers (hotel budget for the first month, six months of housing allowance paid in advance, etc.).
• I was staffed on a very interesting project early on and had the chance to work directly with my director, who has been patient, supportive, and pushed me to grow and learn as much as possible.
• HR handled all logistics and paperwork efficiently, which made the relocation process much smoother.
• I felt supported from day one by everyone on the team, from colleagues to the director and partner.
Cons
The only challenge I’ve faced is the travel policy; flying to locations other than the base (DXB) is only allowed once per quarter even if it stays within the same budget. Increasing this flexibility would make the policy more aligned with what other consulting firms offer.
