Pros

Webkeyz maybe one of the best place for Designers in Egypt to work for, great Design Team, big projects and big clients

Cons

- although it's good for Designers, Webkeyz maybe the worst place to work for as a developer, developers are not welcomed at all by this company, all appreciation goes to Designers, all blame goes to developers - manipulative CEO doesn't keep his promises, keeps mouthing about former employees and blames them for everything wrong, doesn't listen to anyone - crazy working hours without overtime or any gratitude, I worked there for a year and never received a single gratitude word even when I've worked for +11 hours for a whole month, CEO literally told me " I don't believe on work/life balance it's a term you created as an excuse when I was at your age I worked for 14 hours "everyday " - I saw 4 friends leaves company , 3 of them left with disrespect from management, they took it to personal when someone asked to leave -the company takes advantages of junior engineers, it gave a QC engineer a salary below our office boy salary just because she was junior and didn't know the salary ranges, the QC engineer left after 2 months with offer plus 3x that number, same happened with Junior UX Designer and Junior Front-end developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We regret that your time at webkeyz involved some negative experiences. That being said, we were really pained to see that the situations you cited were all recounted inaccurately and taken out of context. We’d like to clarify a couple of points: 1- Working at webkeyz is indeed a challenge. Because of the nature of our work and the amazing clients we work with, we always strive to produce an outstanding quality of work. Yet we understand that not everyone is able to cope with dynamic, fast-moving environments, and prefer a more relaxed approach to work, which is perfectly understandable. 2- Indeed webkeyz faced a challenge during the transitional period of moving out of the start-up phase. We have learned a lot from the experience and would like to think that we have managed to establish a nurturing, transparent, and empathetic work environment where everyone feels heard and appreciated. We’d like to thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We assure you that we take all comments into consideration in order to provide a wonderful work environment for all of our employees.

Pros

Simply put, people love to work at webkeyz and so do I. Many employees already have been here for a long time, which allows deep integration into the business and the ability to create pathways to success. They know that you're a highly valuable asset, and your growth is beneficial to both parties. So, always think of ways to improve your skills, and you'll find the appropriate support to grow. People come first. It was clear during the COVID time when: - The company took the decision of 100% Remote very quickly to keep us safe, scheduled weekly "Casual Meeting" for all co-workers to do any non-work-related activities, and a lot of small details to pass such a time together. Currently, there's a smooth transition to bringing people back to the office. - The founder promised that no one will be fired, and we will survive such a tough time together or even - god forbid - shut the company's doors, but remain together and no one is going to leave. No one will forget this. - Salary deduction was made very late, and it lasted for a few months only, and the company management was very transparent and brought up our financial situation to all employees. - Medical insurance was added as a benefit recently. Additional Pros: - Our clients are top-name brands, means will have a stunning portfolio. - Camaraderie over competition. - Very smart, hard-working and friendly co-workers. - Very high company standards. - You're always ahead of the market when it comes to new services (i.e. Service Design) - Your opinions are genuinely valued, ideas to enhance the process are taking seriously, just do a simple MVP of your idea and discuss it. There's a huge room for experiment and enhancing the process! - Flexible Hours - A great, spacious 6th-floor office with a wide garden view, equipped with all needed amenities and a Ping-Pong room

Cons

There's no perfect company, but most of webkeyz cons really depends on the nature of webkeyz as a "Service Company", not a "Product Company", and your personality/prev. experience. The cons could be: If you aren't getting used to Timesheets, it may be difficult at the beginning to do it, but you'll get used to submitting your working hours & defining the tasks you've been working. Sometimes, you may be facing a huge workload based on the active projects, and you will suffer from very stressful days to catch up with the project delivery, then... things gets quite, the storm passes, and you will even plan a vacation afterward. The thing is, not everyone get used to this workload, but after a while, this will be totally normal.
