Pros

They throw nice social events every now and then where they invite the staff to do a fun activity or social meal The people (employees not management) are generally nice people

Cons

VERY Toxic Environment VERY Rude Management A lot of shouting and toxic masculinity Management doesn't acknowledge value of employees Management doesn't appreciate amount of time or effort being put by the team Management is under qualified and unexperienced HUGE egos Management is delusional about themselves, their status and their "achievements" Medical insurance is a JOKE. Same network that a general construction worker or fast food employee would get. (no disrespect meant to either) DONT DREAM of asking for a salary increase Your concerns and oppinions are never listened to or taken seriously The management is generally very sneaky with how they deal with their employees (specially if the employees are trying to leave the company or resign)

Toxic Founders - Cheap Culture

Pros

The office is in a good location on Sheikh Zayed Road, cant think of anything else positive

Cons

The founders are unfit to practice architecture let alone run an architectural practice. Farid is a manipulative, cheap, arrogant, and a total scam. He is the master of micromanaging people and bullying them until they burn out. Ahmed is immature and delusional about his capabilities and skill. He believes he is great, in reality he wont even qualify as a intermediate level architect in a decent architectural firm. He is also loud and disrespectful very often. In terms of project experience, X Architects has very rearly got to past the concept stage of a project (that is not a private villa) and not got a termination letter from the client.

Pros

You'll work on some excellent projects, good scale and variety of types.

Cons

Could be stressful sometimes. Management won't support with resources, emails or back up your decisions. Engineering is usually ignored to satisfy architecture opinions.
