Cons
The job is what you make of it. If you are a passive associate and/or manager, you really won't succeed here. Proactivity really matters. The job is intense and requires you to always "be online" if you are not ready for that, than it will be quite difficult for you to enjoy the role. The job is what it is and your managers or VPs can't really change how the industry works. Management in Dubai is transparent, if you don't enjoy it just tell them and they will help you figure out your next steps. Worst thing you can do is stay in the job that you don't enjoy, which will lead you to having negative experiences.
