Micro Management at its worst in the UAE

Pros

Great place to learn and use as a base for launching your career right out of university - for the initial six months to a year

Cons

No appreciation on the quality of work submitted No sense of local labour laws (UAE) No employee retention incentives Management would rather abuse you publicly than admit they have no idea how to lead a team. Management will make you work on weekends and public holidays (UAE) as an expatriate with the justification that you've left your home country for the sake of work, so that is what you will do. You are expected to work in the office 'in secret' to avoid being found out by the local authorities. HR policies subject to change upon management's mood. Legally binding contracts and offer letters have zero value and employees are selected upon how well you get along with management outside of working hours. Salaries are delayed every month up to three weeks late. Director will still be the first one to be paid at the start of the month and all other employees will be paid as late as possible.

Cons

Small to Zero pay increases. Feels like if your not part of the "good ol boys" you have no chance of advancement. LOTS OF NEPOTISM!!

Pros

Possibility to learn continuously. International experience at hand. Requires you to keep up to date with state-of-the-art technology and processes.

Cons

Salaries are low and it is difficult to get any raise. Management changes direction too often. People management needs urgent improvement. Unexisting clear career development path.
