Pluspunten

You will learn a lot and have good exposure in the Saudi market. The firm has mostly good leadership (especially in the Riyadh office) which take care of you and will learn a lot from. The firm is going in the right direction now with the change in leadership who are trying to steer the firm's culture and thought towards an inclusive meritocracy.

Minpunten

Some staff are difficult to work with in terms of personality and lack of knowledge. The firm has a tendency to be overtly intellectual sometimes even ignoring clients' requests (for better or worse). There is a unanimous agreement that clients don't know what they're doing and are "stupid" which is in my opinion a bit racist being a European dominated firm.

Pay on par with or above market

- Toxic hire and fire working culture - Neocolonial practices implicitly and explicitly framing Arabs (clients and staff) as backwards and uncivilized and in need of their support

Pluspunten

Not really many - tax free money. If you manage accounts then it can be quite flexible.

Minpunten

Long hours are standard for the sector - enough said. Office politics at Consulum are the worst I have encountered. Some very senior individuals lack competence, they are over promoted and use politics to maintain their positions. This is the type of place when you leave - you have zero regrets.
