Pros

Fantastic tech team using the latest tech stack. Everyone is extremely helpful and available when needed. The working environment is busy as the company is experiencing huge growth, but they provide you with amazing flexibility provided you can deliver within the set deadlines. The management team know exactly where they want the company heading and are doing a great job of guiding the company there. They are also friendly, understanding and easy to reach should you have any issues. Great employee benefits are provided, with the pension contributions being one of the best around. Keep up the great work everyone! The future looks bright!!

Cons

Can get busy due to rapid growth, but this has the potential for huge upside for the company.

Pros

- Free to come up with my own solutions to content challenges (that includes content type, strategy, style, organisation, and more) - Flexible set up, no rigid hierarchy (of course run things past the CEO and CTO were you need to) - Global work - producing content for many countries in several languages has been a fun challenge - The excitement of helping a start up / SME score its first wins in the market - Working with lots of departments that were new to me (data science, app developers, etc) who regularly improve our CMS solutions much faster than ever happens in a large + bureaucratic organisations - Highly satisfying to launch new content hubs for clients around the world - nothing quite like like seeing your own creative ideas go live!

Cons

- Early on there was an unsustainably big workload for a couple of projects, but my new content solutions were listened to and we prioritised accordingly - You may see a couple of negative reviews here but tbh I think most have been addressed now and I personally have no problems. I think it all depends on when you worked at ABAKA and what department you were in. I'm proud to have built the product content from the ground up and see the engagement and sales results I've helped achieve for clients. My experience and career development has been great! - I've just given 4 stars for culture + values because if you like regular socials with colleagues then this is hard in London because there's only a few of us and we're all remote for now (but if you're happy with remote work then its fine!)

Pros

Where to begin? What a journey it has been! One of the best companies I have worked for! The company did not limit me in my role. They gave me a chance to work on projects that helped me learn valuable skills. Real skills that could enormously leverage one’s career. I got an opportunity to work with a high-performing yet supportive team that influenced me to always do my best. I never experienced micromanagement - they will let you work, express your ideas and be creative in delivering your tasks. The founders are highly experienced. I had a very pleasant experience working with the CEO, CTO, and COO. Incredibly great leadership especially Fahd, that cares about employees’ growth and well-being. Perks I enjoyed while working at ABAKA: -Outstanding innovative products (the company is really passionate about helping the financial industry - improving people’s financial well being and retirement) -Exposure to the latest technologies -Flexible Work Setup -Interesting and challenging technical projects -Great benefits and competitive salary -Burj Khalifa view office! (worked in Dubai branch) -Nice company dinners (the CEO and the upper management always find time to catch up with the team despite their busy schedule!) -Latest and advanced tools to help you with your work

Cons

No cons for me. I really had a great time working with the ABAKA team.
