Pros

I cannot think of any since it was a complete disappointment.

Cons

1) They hire non-Libyan staff members who are not aware at all of the situation in Libya. 2) Difference in treatment between local staff and non-locals. 3) They do not maintain the equal opportunity policies like they claim, as the post (Only for Libyans) for the risky, poor and low grade positions, however, they ask (Not for Libyans) when there is a highly paid position, and usually they select candidates based on favoritism. 4) Corruption, taking sides and pay facilitation fees is noticeable. 5) The HR staff in Tunis lack email writing skills, they poorly handle the recruitment procedures, the process takes almost a year with no results nor feedback given to applicants. 6) Kinship and favoritism can be noticed within the entire management of the organization not just with the HR department.

Pros

colleagues are nice. work environment is decent. location is midtown which is perfect. a perfect place for someone who wants to work in a really international environment because each of your colleagues is from a different country.

Cons

work pace is slow. not too many opportunities for professional career development.
