Pros

- Flexibility for maternity leave which is unusual in Dubai - Exposure to different parts of the business upon return from my maternity leave leading to further growth and knowledge in an area I was previously unfamiliar with - Stunning working environment, fantastic colleagues, full time barista who makes the best coffees in Dubai!

Cons

- The paperwork and bureaucracy in Dubai in relation to financial processes can lead to extended time taken to do simple tasks. - When corresponding with suppliers you may have to spell 'Legatum' phonetically to ensure they capture the name correctly.

Pros

Legatum is an organisation that truly prioritises its people. In addition to exceptional health benefits, a stunning office in the DIFC, forward-thinking initiatives associated with annual leave and remote working, not to mention the beautiful café, I've personally felt nurtured, supported, and encouraged by both colleagues and management. The principle of fostering freedom to flourish has not only facilitated my personal and professional growth but has also resulted in increased responsibilities and promotions showing that those who are dedicated, seize opportunities, and meet high expectations are recognised and rewarded. Beyond these benefits, my primary motivation stems from our shared commitment to our mission to help others prosper, and there is a genuine sense of unity as we celebrate successes together. I'm deeply grateful for the collaborative spirit within our team, where everyone's contributions are valued and respected. Working at Legatum is incredibly fulfilling, and personal highlights for me include the family-oriented culture, the diverse range of projects I've had the opportunity to be involved in, and the connection to our philanthropic work, which has afforded me the privilege of witnessing our efforts in the field with my own eyes. Legatum is like no other place I have worked before; a place where you feel you are making an impact and contributing to a better world.

Cons

It is worth noting that the interview process is quite rigorous, has several stages, and can sometimes take a bit of time. However, it will be worth it!
