They are not “meals.” They are a regular team gathering events organized to strengthen collaboration and maintain a healthy and positive work environment.
False or heavily exaggerated comments can unfairly cause talented professionals to miss genuine career opportunities within a strong, fast-growing, and enterprise-scale technology environment.
Boutiqaat is not a small startup. We are an enterprise organization with more than 2,000 employees operating across Kuwait, GCC countries, India, Egypt, and South Korea, serving millions of users and running large-scale business and technology operations across multiple regions.
Constructive feedback is always respected, and no company is perfect. However, turning personal dissatisfaction into generalized statements about an entire organization is neither balanced nor professional.
For example, statements such as “most managers are not qualified” are simply inaccurate. Many of our engineering and technology leaders come from globally recognized companies and enterprise environments including Amazon, Agoda, Publicis Sapient, Arrow, and other major organizations. Our teams work on enterprise-grade platforms, modern cloud-native architectures, AI initiatives, large-scale distributed systems, and high-traffic e-commerce technologies used across the GCC.
• Boutiqaat provides open contracts, annual increments, performance bonuses, incentive rewards, employee events, incremental bonus after the third year and a collaborative working environment at one of the best places in Cairo.
• We also invest heavily in engineering productivity and modern technologies, including providing AI-powered coding and engineering tools to our technology teams to help them learn, innovate, and work more efficiently.
As for compensation, with a technology organization consisting of dozens of engineers and specialists across multiple domains, it simply would not be possible to recruit and retain this level of talent if compensation was genuinely below market standards.
Most importantly, while many companies globally continue to go through waves of layoffs and instability, Boutiqaat continues investing in its people, technology, and long-term growth. You will not hear regular layoff news coming from our organization because we focus on building sustainable teams and long-term value.
Like any serious enterprise environment, expectations are high, accountability exists, and the pace can be demanding. That environment may not suit everyone, and that is completely fine. But fairness and professionalism matter when sharing public feedback that can influence other people’s careers and decisions.
