Culture is better than other firms in the region. Smaller than most firms but growing fast.
Here’s the ranking of firms in ME:
Mckinsey > BCG > S& = Kearney > OW> RB> Bain > Big 4

I agree with this rank

Frankly, I haven’t seen (or heard clients talk about) much of them in the market. I heard that there were some cultural issues with the head of the region being somewhat responsible for them, but they now have a new head. Don’t know if that improved

Good culture, growing fast and continued expanding in a pandemic year while competitors were struggling.
Not as well established in the region as some of the other firms.

Has there been a recent scandal involving harassment with one of their partners, who is currently the Managing Director in the Middle East?

Interviewed with them a few years ago. Seems like they’re growing (or were growing) and they have a good rep—unfortunately don’t know much more than that.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
