Pros

The only pro i saw was my iphone pro max

Cons

They are stuck in the slavery era.. A toxic workplace where favoritism seemed to outweigh performance and professionalism. Employees were not treated equally, and the culture often felt divisive and exclusionary. Instead of rewarding talent and hard work, opportunities appeared to be reserved for a select few. Morale suffered as a result, and management showed little willingness to address concerns. I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking a fair, respectful, and merit-based work environment.

Pros

Probably the only pro is the salary and benefits Well known group in abudhabi

Cons

Please note that this review pertains exclusively to the Enterprise Tooling department till 2025 and does not reflect the wider company. Unfortunately, the work environment under the departmental leadership specifically at the Director(now ex director) and Associate Director levels—is highly politicized and unprofessional. The culture is driven by extreme favoritism rather than merit, which creates a challenging and often hostile day-to-day experience for the team. Furthermore, there is a severe lack of transparency in the department's hiring practices. It is a widely shared and recognized concern among the staff that recruitment and are frequently based on personal connections and preferential backend treatment, rather than objective qualifications or fair process, which even the current team knows.
