Pros

The company has a dynamic international environment with some genuinely talented and professional colleagues. There are plenty of opportunities to gain experience quickly, take ownership, and work on interesting problems.

Cons

Leadership feels very focused on hitting bonus targets and reducing costs, often at the expense of people and long-term thinking. Employee development gets no attention, and staff can sometimes feel treated as replaceable resources, especially with offshoring and automation initiatives mainly aimed at cutting headcount. The company is also surprisingly siloed for its size, with strategy and decision-making often feeling chaotic or reactive. There can be a fairly aggressive culture at times, with pressure to align closely with founders rather than openly challenge ideas.

Pros

Your time at 3S will be short, because they're laying people off.

Cons

The leadership are actively laying people off while gaslighting the employees by saying that people are leaving due to "personal issues". This is not true. Mulitple people are being made redundant in secret. Several have gone in the same day, and are locked out of email while the founders spread lies about their departures. This company made a massive first quarter loss. They've annouced a "hiring freeze", but the layoffs are already happening. Stay away. Oh, and watch out – every time a negative review appears, the company posts a load of fake positive ones. Look at the dates of the positive reviews closely and you'll see the pattern.

Pros

- good location, it's in the heart of DIFC

Cons

- all they do is launder money for Russians - CEO Evan is whacky and hits on women on the business - They will build you up just to sack you. Look at linked in of how many employees have previously worked and then left the business - The business has a court case due to money laundering with FCA and the DFSA in Dubai are not happy - The head of relationship managers and the CEO work as a team and have a side hustle, they don't put the company first at all. They rather make more money elsewhere
