Strong growth environment with real ownership - Recensione dipendente - Manager presso Four Principles

• HR was very supportive during my onboarding and always available to guide me and answer my questions. • The company provided generous amenities for newcomers (hotel budget for the first month, six months of housing allowance paid in advance, etc.). • I was staffed on a very interesting project early on and had the chance to work directly with my director, who has been patient, supportive, and pushed me to grow and learn as much as possible. • HR handled all logistics and paperwork efficiently, which made the relocation process much smoother. • I felt supported from day one by everyone on the team, from colleagues to the director and partner.

The only challenge I’ve faced is the travel policy; flying to locations other than the base (DXB) is only allowed once per quarter even if it stays within the same budget. Increasing this flexibility would make the policy more aligned with what other consulting firms offer.

Exposure to real projects and hands-on work Opportunity to learn through day-to-day challenges Some supportive colleagues

The management is very weak, lacks professionalism, and does not apply fair or transparent processes. There is a clear culture of favoritism, where personal relationships play a major role in hiring and promotions. In some cases, family members are hired and promoted over more qualified and experienced colleagues, which negatively impacts team morale and motivation. Hard work, skills, and performance are often overlooked, while decisions are made based on connections rather than merit. This creates an unhealthy work environment and limits any real career growth for employees who are not part of these inner circles. Overall, the company needs serious management reform, clear HR policies, and a fair performance-based system to become a healthy place to work.
