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.
