Pros

Pay on par with or above market

Cons

- Toxic hire and fire working culture - Neocolonial practices implicitly and explicitly framing Arabs (clients and staff) as backwards and uncivilized and in need of their support

Pros

Not really many - tax free money. If you manage accounts then it can be quite flexible.

Cons

Long hours are standard for the sector - enough said. Office politics at Consulum are the worst I have encountered. Some very senior individuals lack competence, they are over promoted and use politics to maintain their positions. This is the type of place when you leave - you have zero regrets.
