Pros

On Time Salary Office location

Cons

Penspen Abu Dhabi office is not what you see on their social posts. Eventhough it is presented as a brand & an MNC, the company has no ethical values & conscience. It is just a hire & fire company. They treat Engineers as disposables & think that they can easily find candidates simply by offering attractive salaries when needed. It's been observed that alot of sincere & hardworking engineers have been laid off just because of their incompetent project planning & wrong mass hiring decisions. Engineers hired from India were laid off within 3-6 months & were left to suffer in a newly relocated country just to safeguard the existing non-performing ones. It does not matter at all how good or sincere you are with your work. The core team of 2-3 old employees is already set. They will just hire & fire others on project basis. Irony is, during hiring the managers will assure you of a long term career. However, they will exactly do opposite of what has been promised & said. And this pattern of firing employees keeps repeating within the company periodically. The management consists of incompetent people who lack planning & decision skills. They are just surviving in the UAE market with repetitive kind of projects & only care about maximizing profits. Do not fall for the social media PR. Do proper research & take responsible decisions for yourself if such short term careers with it is worth all your sacrifices & hassles.

Pros

NONE It use to be a very good company but since the management change 3 years back. It going downhill.

Cons

No system, No work ethics, no motivation for employees, big talks zero output, no management vision to set a ground for makings of a proper engineering company. Bureaucracy, one-way communication, lacks modern practices in career development for staff. The only focus of senior management is to fill their own pockets and to save their jobs. Blame culture is encouraged by top management. Too much focus on internal politics then on making viable policies to be commercially successful. Big talk about values but no one follows it in senior management. No regards for employee rights. There is no job security and rules/processes to talk about, highly Toxic environment to work in. Do not recommend it for anyone. Don’t take this review as complaint from a disgruntled employee, these are the facts.
