Pros

Salary on time and visa, that's it.

Cons

First of all, they ask you to keep your passport for "safety reasons". Which according to the law is not allowed, but they put it in the terms that you are giving it to them "willingly". The truth is that they push you to give it to them. 10 h work with 30 min break. Extreme micromanagement. CCTV is everywhere to make you feel observed and under pressure. They hire you for a role, but they throw on you any type of task and responsibility not related to your job, and you end up doing anything but not your real job. Of course no gratitude about it. There are no real competencies from the management, who want to demand without any timeline, everything is priority on top of priority and there is no real structure of what to do. If you say no to something because you know it's not your job, they will tell you that your time is their time. So you have to do what they say. And if you don't, expect to be treated like you are worth zero. Salary deductions for every minute you are late. Attendance system even if you go to the washroom or to fill up your water. No growth unless you put your dignity under their shoes. No performance evaluation. Not allowed to take your leave freely, they want you to take 30 days in a row and the rest of the year you get rotten in the office. They even pushed to take the holidays during Ramadan, so for them it will be less loss. They don't give value to anything you do. There is no table for having lunch, but it's not allowed to eat at your desk or in the kitchen, and not enough time to go out and eat properly. So people eat in the fire exit like cockroaches. Not even a cheap teabag is provided. Oh, at least they give you water. They promise to review your salary after a year, but then they never call you to discuss it. And if you are brave enough to ask for it, they avoid the topic or find any excuse not to do it.

Pros

Nothing at all worse management and company to work in UAE

Cons

They hired me by starting the new project in Properties. Company has enough funds and resources to do purchase all kind of properties in UAE. But when it comes to employees they want to hire you and offer the salaries of intern with expectations of senior level manager experience. Company is owned by syrians having local nationality but run by Fillipino staff. They’ll not give you copy of offer letter and ask you to sign physical contract. Clause of 5000 aed as name of training fee if you leave within one year. Passport will be hold by HR during your time in company. No proper induction from HR or job role description. Working hours will be 8 to 6 pm. You’re allowed to take only 30 minutes lunch break with biometric time. They have biometric even on washroom doors so theyll notice your time spent in washroom as well. False and fake promises upon hiring however upon joining nothing will be fulfilled. Even owner and high management have their personal secratery. You wont have the right to speak to owner directly. Many racist managers in company who will jugde you without even knowing the experience or your qualifications. Still there wont be visa at first and they’ll keep you on trail periods in case decision changed, company will kick you out at anytime. Higher managers only give preference to their referred staff and will eat your position once they saw the opportunity. There wont be any hearing from anyone if they kick you out from company. I would recommend to work in small company rather than putting your time and effort for these kind of big groups. At end they’ll play with your emotions as well on financial status in case they wont want you in system. While working in company you’ll pray your 1 year should complete and could find better peaceful working environment.

Pros

only good for fresh graduates and new expats in the country as a first job

Cons

NO procedures NO policies NO organizational chart NO clear job descriptions. The company is owned by Syrians but it's actually run by Filipinos back stage which are racist to everyone else, Full of politics and back stabbings. HR department is a joke. You'll find two or three professionals in the company that are the actual working engine for it but they're really unappreciated at all.
