ATK Dubai = Sweatshop

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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!

Good on Paper, but Reality is far from it!

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good perks and benefits packages. You get points for hotels, AmEx Rewards and airline points.

Cons

Where do I start? Well, after having graduated from a prestigious Ivy League school and having worked in some of the most recognizable companies in the world with good amount of practical experience. ATK is probably the worst, due to the political BS. Work-life balance only exists on the paper and partners/principals preach it and say they "believe" in it, but the reality is you're working LONG hours. Additionally, compensation isn't competitive considering you're working a lot more than someone who's working ~40hrs in industry. Hourly rate ends up being about the same for both. Lastly, "likes" and "dislikes" by peers and management determines your future and not what the standard process is for being promoted. Therefore, logic goes out the window. People will go behind your backs and throw you under the bus.

Dynamic and satisfying if able to survive the long hours

Business Outlook

Pros

Many different types of projects and opportunity to be staffed on projects in other countries. Office culture differs slightly across geographies, but colleagues from different offices typically collaborate well.

Cons

Compensation varies across geographies and also within unit. With strong negotiation skills and an impressive CV, applicants stand a strong bargaining ground to either get better base pay or higher position.
