Pros

If I have to give a pro, experience.

Cons

- Upper management was unrealistic with goal setting. - The management in general. They would try to make this job a lot harder than it needed to be. They wanted managers to write an email at the end of each shift about how your day went & what you did today that would make tomorrow better. THIS IS ALL VERY REPETITIVE WORK, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT IN THIS EMAIL. THIS ISN'T AN ENGLISH CLASS. - Understaffed and the owners would not listen to employees. - High turnover - At one point, our A/C stopped working and the inside of the store would be at around 95 degrees. The food was standing in unsafe temperatures, and yet they did not spend money to fix the system. - Expected too much for the pay.

Pros

You learn to learn on your own, cause you have no other option, they know nothing so you have to learn to do things on your own. There are bunch of great people that you meet there

Cons

Ohhh where do I start This startup should be always pinned in the startups hall of shame. The three amateurs running it have no idea what they are doing, I see alot of people around being terminated for no reason and this is why i'm writing this review, i dont want other people to fall for the trap of the fastest growing startup- its a trap Have you heard of a company who hires people with no contracts to dismiss them the time they want??? That's indeeed SWVL Current and Potential Investors: Please don't give this amount of money to kids, they end up with a huge deflatable ego, that will take them nowhere but down the dark hall. Please invest in your due-diligence, specially that they are very good at putting fake numbers. LIKE FAKE DAILY BOOKINGS, RIDES, ACTIVE BASE. Please be aware that you are supporting bunch of amateurs who are exploiting people and talents. A word to competition: Watch out, they speak to your people and steal your data, let me tell you that the CEO has great ethics.

Pros

- Good idea & app.

Cons

- Bad management/managers. - Managers take decisions based on their personal interests. - No job security. Without any reason, you get fired. - Unstable hierarchy many restructuring happening for no reasons. - You have to work more than the defined working hours, to prove that you are a good employee. - You can't suggest or disagree with anything the CEO says. - CEO (Mostafa) Said at the meeting that he can fire all engineering team and hire a new team from Pakistan. - CTO always complain about the team members to co-founders. - People with no experience, with no skills, are being promoted because they are friends with management. - Poor HR/people and culture manager. - Co-founders are irresponsible and inexperienced. - Small office with no perks.
