Pros
- remote work with flexible hours - coworkers that become friends - islamic values - high energy work environment - rewarding company mission - good insight in what other teams are doing with some opportunities to work on projects you may be interested in outside your current role.
Cons
- low pay with no clear pay bands/structure - unclear and difficult career progression - disorganized management - high turnover with bad documentation making cross collaboration difficult - no standardized performance reviews or feedback - too much reliance on "high seasons" like ramadan to hit company goals - too much reliance on large but unpredictable campaigns without good support systems to manage them in place - often told to offer new ideas but they are not actually implemented or given the supports/tools to see them succeed - reliance on re-hiring or mass hiring new people instead of investing in existing teams (be it via investing in workers compensations or team budgets) - sudden layoffs in certain departments affecting moral - glossing over systemic management and operation issues by inviting speakers, having unnecessary on-sites, and promoting "we're a family"
