Talabat FAQ

Pros

- Some employee are among the greatest minds I’ve ever met - Food credit and free breakfast

Cons

- Nepotism: the company is very proud of its “diversity” but in reality managers hire and promote fellow nationals (sometimes from their former company). Urdu and Arabic are as much spoken as English in some departments which indirectly excludes other employees. - Internal politics: your growth entirely depends on your networking skills. HR has no real power and one word from your manager can hold you from a promotion. This has led to a situation where a bunch of incompetent people are placed at strategic positions just because they are well connected. - Gossips and drama: most information circulate through the grapevine and not through official communication channel. You need to be careful about what you’re sharing with who as it can be used against you by some employees eager to climb the professional ladder. - The atmosphere is a gloomy mess, most employees spend their day on Linkedin looking for another opportunity. - Management almost never engages with employees, the only times they do is to shame and blame them for not reaching targets (which become more and more unrealistic month on month). - Bullying: Threatening and depreciating people is very common. Anyone questioning decisions made by management or their team lead will be deemed “culturally unfit” and “not aligned with the values”.
