Pros

You will find a few good colleagues to work with. But never trust the smile on anyone's face; you will later find someone holding envy toward you, especially in the HR team and the HR director.

Cons

Never trust a job description written for your position; they may force you to switch between jobs, titles, or departments. After ensuring you have left the company with no other option (consider it betrayal, as they should have informed applicants before joining, like respected large companies), this happened with the Manager of DevOps, Quality, and Delivery teams and the Team Leader of Machine Learning. The HR Director does not provide the contract you signed and gives numerous excuses to delay it for 6 months (for people with 1-3 years of experience; unsure if the same applies to +3 years of experience individuals). Never trust any team leader, manager, or director unless they communicate through Gmail to avoid lies and empty promises. The hours can be long (no obvious start and end time), requiring random availability the 24 hours. The salary is related to USD, but the contract is written in EGP, expecting you to work 1 million hours in 24 hours. Before the Egyptian economy changes to its worst periods of the egp currency, they never implemented such practices when it was comparable to other companies. The company has a very poor learning curve, inadequate management with non-technically aware leaders, lack of organization between tasks and teams, and poor task prioritization. There is also a bad work load with constant time pressure and improper prioritization of tasks. Slow promotions and sometimes sudden stopped bonus and promotion in the whole year.

Pros

The Support team management has cultivated an exceptionally nurturing and collaborative work environment, fostering a close-knit, family-like atmosphere. The focus is on collective success and teamwork, rather than individual competition. Mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities, promoting team growth without punitive consequences. Management maintains a highly approachable and supportive stance, breaking down hierarchical barriers and encouraging open communication about concerns and needs. They also work closely with each team member to identify personalized paths for growth and development, with the goal of bringing out the best in the entire team. The level of cooperation among team members is exemplary, allowing new hires to quickly learn and progress by sharing resources, information, and expertise.

Cons

The team often faces a demanding workload due to the high priority placed on delivering exceptional customer service across the diverse range of areas they cover. Occasional miscommunications between other teams can cause unnecessary pressure and inefficiencies, disrupting the team's workflow. Additionally, the ambitious project schedules can contribute to an overall challenging workload.
