Pros

1. The name on the CV would look good. its a hot name in the middle east right now 2. you'll learn about an on-demand industry. there are quite a few things to learn about logistics, operations, procurement & supply chain. 3. you will meet a lot of new people in the industry as you are working in a hot tech startup and selling the idea of a company to everyone, you'll meet a lot of interesting people

Cons

1. there is no structure/strategy everyone is constantly firefighting. no one likes to plan in advance and develop a step by step action plan, instead it is last minute changes with a justification "we are a startup, that's how things are". All the unnecessary stress could have been avoided if things were planned ahead and "management" would be supportive of people. 2. Constant stress. if you are into stressing out about things that are meant to be under you control, but are not - you are in a right place. There is no work culture or work/life balance. It is normal to be called on Friday and demanded you drop everything and fix whatever it is right away. Reasoning as a day off are brushed off with an argument "yes, but this will kill everything if we don't fix it now". More often than not, the object of fixing doesn't need immediate attention. 3. you will learn an art of public speaking and corporate culture if you wanna thrive - you need to learn how to survive. Few individuals actually do what they say at this company. More often, its the oposite. Lots of ideas, lots of talk about how great the ideas are. But no one actually wants to execute those ideas. Or if they do, its backwards and low quality effort under the pretence of "it needs to be done yesterday". Any reasoning of quality, work/life balance, need for resources are usually dismissed.

Pros

- CAFU Tech & Tech Team used to be a harmony - Tech Excellence was high - Practices inside company like XP, TDD and highly disciplined environment

Cons

It's Founder Company had every reason to succeed, yet, when its about fake ego, coming from a well-known family, and endless money, yet such thing turned very quickly to be the rotting that eventually turned. to a scandal, a forgery that eventually drove investors away Yet due to Ego, people had to suffer, and also be running in circles in trials and courts because the founder refuses to be forced to pay, and we have to bear with his nonesense, and its either you work for free, or you have no rights
