Pros

I can't say anything good about this place.

Cons

1. Micromanagement all the time (seriously some times the manager asks for status every 5 minutes). 2. Upper management only takes decisions for the very short term period (development change course several times in one month). 3. They rarely ask the technical team about timelines to make things and they will push you very hard to deliver things that you were not consulted before they close the deals. 4. If you are not very good at salary negotiation, be aware they will trick you during this process in a lot of different ways and you will only realize after some time. 5. When they need, managers will use all kinds of nasty things (half facts and even lies) to keep your work colleagues against you. 6. On top of the above problems, whenever they have a chance they will stop paying you and will keep pushing you to deliver the development and also will give you a lot (seriously, a lot) of excuses to keep you working. It's the worst company I ever worked for. A very toxic and unpleasant experience. The company is based in Beirut - Lebanon, but due to the recent economic crises there, they are moving the company to Abu Dhabi, but for sure they are moving the bad environment there as well.

Pros

The company has a strong and capable technology team with talented professionals. The product itself is well-designed and has significant potential in the market. There are opportunities to work on interesting technical challenges and learn from skilled colleagues.

Cons

Leadership is one of the company's biggest weaknesses. Senior management appears more focused on internal politics and strategic maneuvering than addressing real operational and employee concerns. HR policies lack consistency and transparency. Similar situations are often handled differently depending on the individual involved, creating an environment of favoritism and bias. Recent HR changes have further contributed to a toxic work environment with visible lack of responsiveness, unprofessional behavior and communication is unclear. Resource planning and alignment has been extremely poor, leading to major workforce reductions that impacted approximately 55% of the team. This raises concerns about long-term planning and organizational stability.

Pros

Good salary Good team Good office culture (previously)

Cons

One significant concern was workforce planning. Hiring projections appeared to be misaligned with actual business requirements, resulting in substantial overhiring. This was followed by the layoff of more than 100 employees within a short period, creating uncertainty and negatively impacting employee morale. Additionally, the new HR in Pakistan is a major area of concern. Mostly absent minded and unable to answer, she don't even care to come out of her space. She was barely present in office and her laid-back attitude clearly shows how non serious the organization is with regard to the biggest team of the company. Employees often experienced delays in receiving guidance, support or updates on HR-related matters. Effective HR leadership requires proactive communication, accessibility, and timely resolution of issues, which were not consistently demonstrated.
