Pros
Decent work culture and supportive colleagues — though that might be because I was not directly dealing with internal teams daily.
Kontras
The full and final settlement process took over two months and was only completed after escalation to external authorities. Lack of alignment with local labor laws — internal policies were applied inconsistently and often conflicted with regulatory requirements. Communication from respective functions was delayed and inconsistent throughout the exit process. Repeated follow-ups were required to get clarity on unpaid leave and end-of-service benefit calculations, with no timely resolution. Final Settlement Agreement contained discrepancies and was sent multiple times without addressing earlier concerns. Offboarding process was poorly managed — in my 18 years of professional experience (13 of them in the Middle East), this was the most difficult and frustrating exit I've experienced. There seems to be a lack of accountability and ownership within support functions during offboarding.
