Pros

Learn a lot Great colleagues Tax free compensation Brand name Introduction to management consulting Great international ATK network Lots of frequent flier miles and hotel loyalty points

Cons

Excessive travel (4-days/week every week) No work/life balance Limited training Poor management <-- cannot stress this point enough! High turnover (think revolving door) Stress If you are a male you will probably be working/living in Saudi Limited opportunities for some to transition projects - people working on same project for 2+ years! Poor track record of success in the region - Ask around about a certain petrochemical client of theirs STAY AWAY FROM THIS OFFICE - PICK ANOTHER ATK LOCATION - ATK IN DUBAI IS TERRIBLE!

Pros

The pay scale is nice, and you work with big-name clients on big-deal projects.

Cons

The working environment is very hierarchical and "old school," and places little value on teamwork and shared achievement. Creativity is not a welcomed trait, and work-life balance is irrelevant - be prepared for Sunday - Friday travel. Management tends to have an aggressive attitude towards associates and analysts, and criticism is lobbed with abandon - thick skin is a required accessory. One senior VP openly admitted that there are 5 people waiting in line for every job, and most employees stay less than 2 years, so it doesn't make sense for him to try to keep people happy or build a better culture.
