Horrendous Life
Pros: Experience
Market valuing your experience
Across Line of Service potential
Cons: - No work life balance whatsoever
- You are asked to fly 6 days to Saudi and have one day in UAE which you'll be working remotely
- Average hours is 16 hours a day. We were once asked to work 36 hours straight
- The Middle East ethics hotline is useless
- Below Average salary. No per-diem anymore. No overtime as well which is illegal
- Zero loyalty to home-grown talent that have been with the firm since day one and actually believed in its message
- If you are not working with a Partner of the same Nationality, there is no hope moving up the scale
- HR is a function to protect Partners not the employees
- Doesn't matter how good your appraisals are, the Appraisal Committee will promote and terminate who it wants (I got 1 in all 7 feedback across 7 countries)
- Loyalty is to the client. Firm doesn't protect its people
- Firm terminated endless jobs, to obtain cheaper resources from Egypt and Jordan
- When applying for Global Mobility, the Partner either shoots down your opportunities. Or, you are accepted somewhere with 2 grades lower than yours
- I was asked to cancel my honeymoon 6 hours before my flight, despite having the leave approved 8 months in advance
- Poisonous racist environment
- Many people with depression and mental health issues which the firm has reluctantly did anything about it aside from an app that doesn't work
