Pros

Great products. Decent work culture and great team in Nairobi.

Cons

The company is top-heavy with way too many managers and few people doing the actual work. Weak go-to-market strategy for East Africa. Compensation is average for the industry. Supply chain is in a mess and there are no deliveries that are ever made on time. You're guaranteed to lose credibility with your customer despite the finance team insisting on pre-payment. No career growth or defined career path. You'll be stuck for 10+ years with the role you joined. Internal mobility only favors Arabs if you're in the META cluster. 100% of the new roles/opportunities are given to Turkish or Egyptians.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
