- Company is growing significantly
- Barkawi is a global company with people from many different countries and cultures, so it provides an opportunity to learn from lots of different perspectives
Cons
Honestly, working for Barkawi has been absolutely great, and there have just been a couple of tiny things that I've seen in my time here.
- Because Barkawi is a global company, sometimes working hours can be all over the place (this hasn't happened to me a lot, but there's times when it can be a little stressful)
- There hasn't been a lot of opportunities to take classes or get certifications (APICS)
- Because there's the freedom to work from wherever, sometimes there's instances where you can go a whole project without seeing team memberes face to face (they live in another state/country). Makes it difficult to learn from/get direction
- On-boarding process for out of college grads doesn't feel structured, leads to instances where there can be a lot of down-time between projects where you're trying to find something to do
