Pros

Exceptional work-life balance and adaptable work arrangements. The firm truly empowers employees to own their schedules, fostering a trusting and productive environment.

Cons

While there are positive aspects to the work, the total rewards package lags behind competitors. I’ve observed a trend of static career trajectories where responsibilities increase, but titles and compensation do not keep pace with market valuations.

Excellent work-life balance, particularly for the region. Finish at 1pm Fridays. No client travel, all based in Jacobs Dubai office.

Salary is low for the region. Limited client facing experience. The office is in an old engineering building.
