Good place to work, but not recommended
Cognitive Engineer Consultant • Current Employee
Cairo, Cairo Governorate, Egypt
March 22, 2023
Pros: Salary was low before inflation, but now it's way lower than market. There are no real steps from management to fix employees' salaries anytime soon.
Overworking is a cause of poor project planning. Most of the projects are either sold with no clear requirements or have really bad estimations.
Cons: It's a great environment that supports learning and flexible work time. Great mindset and supportive for all your learning goals. But I wouldn't recommend it, as you can get a good environment in lots of other companies and with good compensation that makes you live a good life without worrying about your other responsibilities.
