Pros

Friendly middle management and colleagues

Cons

Management attitude is very bad, especially the NBNT Team. Appraisals are just a gameplay for them, people who know how to lick will surely climb the ladder. They don't care about your emotions. Old fashioned office and no sufficient place to sit, people sharing desk is a common thing you can see here. Chairs are broken I believe bought second-hand and the carpet on the floor is stinking. No telephones on the desk; should you wish to call anyone in the client place, be smart and use your own mobile phone (own cost) else wait in a queue in a crowded and noisy conference room. Further, Managers will always call you on your WhatsApp so keep your data pack active. The office has a tiny pantry (only 1 person at a time); Bathrooms are small and the worst part is tissue papers are removed in evening time (don't know how much they are going to save by this) Saudi Travel is compulsory (no flyback) Don't ask for expense reimbursement and never in your lifetime ask for leave as it's a crime here.

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
