Pluspunten

- Average salary wise, but based on the country you reside in and your role. - Fully remote work. - Global onsite so you get to travel internationally at times, sponsored for you but not your family - Equipment budget to set up your home office. - Supportive, kind, genuine friends and teammates. - Professional colleagues with extensive experiences that you can learn a lot from. - Flexible working hours but usually people from other regions always have to cater to the US/Canada time zone, and also their timezone. - Ramadan and dhul hijjah bonus like $1000 in total for a year.

Minpunten

- will fire people anytime they want. You get a video call from the manager out of the blue saying that it's your last day, then they’ll just cut off all access to slack, etc. - give severance pay for 2 months and are VERY proud of it. - the reason for the lay off is because they don’t find you relevant anymore. Like they don’t know where to put you, or they developed a new goal, then they cut you off. Saying things like they don’t want to hold you back from thriving elsewhere. - no performance review but make it as one of their justifications to fire people. - lay off without warning, and regardless of the employees current situation. Pregnant, supporting family members or even if you are a senior etc. - romanticising working extra hours. - health benefits only for those in the US. - keep collecting employee feedback but hardly addressed any effectively. - hires globally and expecting people to have global skills, but pay them based on local pay. - have to work extra hours and cater to Western time zone while being paid little, especially for underpaid countries. - a senior can be paid less than junior, meanwhile being assigned to a much more complex tasks. - no salary raise at all despite extra hours and good performance. - high turnover rate. - spend too much on traveling and onsite (mostly for top leaders), but are hesitant to revise the employees salary.

Pluspunten

Muslim Environment, value aligned. great co-workers

Minpunten

Executive leadership is disorganized and frequently unprofessional, creating a chaotic work environment. Compensation is well below market, seemingly justified by an assumption that Muslim employees will accept lower pay in exchange for working at a mission-driven organization. Work hours are long, often exceeding nine hours per day. Although the company advertises flexible PTO, requests are closely scrutinized and frequently denied, with PTO effectively unavailable for the month leading up to Ramadan and during Ramadan itself—despite this being one of the busiest periods. There is significant turnover within the Shura (senior leadership), largely attributable to ineffective executive leadership. Leadership just want people to agree with them. Anything outside of this will result in bad performance ratings. There is a lot of religious abuse. We make duaa before and after meetings but spend the whole meeting talking poorly of others.
