Pros

Stable company; salaries remain consistent even during periods of uncertainty such as the COVID-19 pandemic or demonstrations.

Cons

1. Inadequate Compensation: The company offers low salaries, impacting overall employee satisfaction and motivation. Employees face financial challenges due to the low pay. 2. Unprofessional Management: The country manager employs ineffective methods, such as relying on a select few employees for information, and favors certain individuals based on personal interests, neglecting fair distribution of benefits like salary increases, bonuses, and leave approvals. This contributes to an extremely toxic work environment, fueled by the manager's favoritism, dishonesty, unethical practices, and unauthorized access to employees' personal computers. 3. Legal Disputes: Employees raising concerns about their rights, particularly regarding bonuses, often result in the company filing numerous legal cases. Additionally, some employees have not received bonuses for the past 3 years under the current Egypt country manager. The manager's discriminatory behavior, including misogyny and sexism towards working mothers, further exacerbates the negative work culture. The manager also engages in unethical practices by spying on employees' personal information without consent, accessing their personal computers, and prying into their colleagues' personal details.

Pros

Working as BD in a regional top 3 IP firm such as Saba is easy. The reputation and client database both are very good. Working environment is ok, in general the punch-in and out are strict. But there are work from home days which I see as a very good benefits given the traffic situation in Dubai. The pay is fair, not low, also not very high. They are offering just enough. And if you work hard, you can have a very good growth. I have received increments each year during the 3 years that I worked with them.

Cons

Don’t really see any. All in all good. The traffic in business bay is bad, but where isn’t? DIFC, Business bay, Downtown, DMCC, Marina, event JVC becomes bad.
