Have you heard anything about work culture at Damac? I am doing very well in my current job but got an offer to join their internal strategy team and not sure if this is a good idea in terms of work culture/ politics since it’s a family business/ workload/ etc. thanks a lot in advance

I wouldn’t join purely based on the quality of their buildings

Or you can look at it as a challenge, where you can help deliver significant improvement and impact!

Extremely poor process.
Had 5 interviews and then got ghosted by them.
Work culture is really cutthroat and toxic.
It's family first, everyone else later so you do what they say when they say no matter what.
Views from the top floor are great.

Thank you for the information!

As a rule and not related to a specific employer, would not join a family business in a middle management function unless there is a clear track to share value.

I just had my first behavioural interview with VCA for a Digital Consulting Manager role and the Dir said he was going to progress me to the next round.

I have never worked in consulting before, my background is all project management/marketing/advertising and I have an MBA. Wondering if anyone can give me an idea of the type of case questions they've been asked during their interviews for VCA.

Thanks in advance!
