Cons
Oh boy! Where do I begin? 1. “Managers” need to learn how to actually manage team members instead of publicly humiliate, play favorites and gossip non-stop. 2. Constantly having to deal with both the managers’ emotions instead of actually working - drains the life out of you. Oh by the way, yes, you have to report to two managers! 3. Was asked personal questions like: “Why don’t you want to have kids?” “How much will you eat?” Very unprofessional. 4. The confidence that I had before joining the company having worked at really good organizations before, was shattered. They make you feel like you are good for nothing. 5. Managers have a few “favorites” who talk about those very managers behind their back. Those long hours of gossip in the meeting room, pretending like they’re working was ridiculous. 6. Expecting us to work outside office hours like it’s normal? And then telling me “oh i was testing your loyalty to the company??!” (I’m not sure if they had a life outside of BNC, but I surely did, so no thank you!) 7. There’s absolutely no space for talent or creativity. Just follow a script word-to-word. 8. All this while being paid a subpar salary (phew) 9. They just need a scapegoat to assign blame, for everything that goes wrong. And a lot of things go wrong. They said that themselves :) I strongly advise against joining this company if you care about your mental health. Honestly, there are way better companies out there. I’m sure you’re desperate to land a job in UAE, but please, this is NOT IT!
