Pros

Highly recommended especially for fresh graduates/young professionals, very high career potential and such a friendly environment (Thats a hit an miss depending on your team and MD), definitely big 2 in the region (GCC)

Cons

Salaries are not as competitive as other consulting firms in the market considering Protiviti`s market share. almost usually seen as the underdog while that is not true (atleast in the market I am working in)

Pros

some of the consultants are bright

Cons

Pretty much everything about the firm is bad. Work is monotonous. Extremely long work hours. In Oil & Gas team, one will end up working for min. 15 hours a day. Long delays in payments.No travel facility when your client is in Dubai or outside the city. They pay small amounts which are enough to pay only for the bus. Very arrogant Senior Management. Too much bragging and too little involvement. Most of the Managers are incompetent. They take the credits for good work and you get too many brick bats for silly things. Zero investment on individuals. In the last 2 years, I have not seen any training. Oil and Gas team in particular is very bad. They charge clients less than half of what Big 4 does and then make you work 3 times. Even weekends are hectic mostly. The pay is 30 to 40% less than Big 4. Though they claim heavy bonuses, most of the people do not get any. For consultants they pay as low as 12k! There are plenty of people who get salaries in the range of 5k to 12k AED after MBA. They keep selecting from premier colleges like IIMs and the folks generally leave in less than 3 months after seeing the work culture.
