Pros

I can't honestly think of any pros except for a few good people that I had the pleasure of getting to know

Cons

The company is a complete mess. C level applies emotional and psychological torture to everybody involved. There is no vision and no strategy. The CEO/COO are perfect for each other, since they are a brother & sister duo, they both excel at poor performance and specialize in lacking experience to lead and grow. Moreover, Tarjama violated several Saudi labor law statutes such as not providing medical insurance and valid residencies to its employees under the excuse of "out papers are pending". Tarjama prides itself as a forward thinking AI company, but it is nothing more than a translation office that outsources all of its translation work at a significantly inflated price. I can't stress enough how terrible this company is and how far away you should stay. The culture is 0, the leadership is terrible, everybody runs around scared of the CEO's emotional instability. Moreover the CEO personally asks employees to cover the negative reviews by forcing them to add positive ones.
