Vantaggi

1. Chairman has a vision 2. Interesting domain 3. Nice data centre

Svantaggi

1. Chairman has a vision, but nobody will ever say its bordering on delusional 2. BD team focused on "vapour-ware" powerpoint presentations and fabrication of capability, the thrill of the chase is what drives them, delivering on the promises is a challenge. 3. Staff are treated like replaceable parts in a machine.......btw, the machine is not firing on all cylinders.... 4. Absolute disrespect for employees, some of the most unprofessional behaviour I have ever witnessed from corporate affairs, where personal disputes discussed at the lunch table and personal feelings clouding judgements 5. Company culture is appalling to say the least with no company supported activities 6. Inherent backstabbing and cliques make it impossible to drive any improvement initiatives 7. Organisationally retarded (middle management are totally ineffective, through the directive of top mgt) 8. Employee opression is evident in all facets of the organisation, senior mgt seem to thrive on it...maybe even enjoy it 9. Fear is a generally accepted tool for dealing with staff 10. Morale is not considered at all - neither is a healthy work life balance 11. Borderline illegal HR practices (holding of passports, unauthorised charges against salary, charging for visa / EID, compulsory training during Ramadan to extend working hours) 12. Nepotism is rife at Pacific Controls, be careful who you hold counsel with 13. Staff attrition rates are way above average for the UAE 14. Senior mgt would rather campaign for improved comments on Glassdoor than addressing root cause of discontent 15. Don't expect training but where it is provided expect to sign a lengthy commitment. 16. 6 day / 57 hr compulsory weeks, no flexibility and draconian monitoring and control (if your considering a role here please ask at interview) 17. Canteen is borderline legal entity that makes you eat off paper, like a puppy 18. Think carefully before accepting a job here....

Vantaggi

This company is a good company to start your career at and provides many opportunities to learn about newer technologies.

Svantaggi

Some work needs to be done on the software side and also local managers seem to have little if any ability to make decisions related to the business.

Vantaggi

New field so growth in industry is unlimited. Innovative thinking at C-level.

Svantaggi

manager does not understand my job and doesn't take interest in learning about the technicalities involved in performing job. Managers try to reinvent the wheel every couple of months. Do not make use of employees full potential. Recommendations and ideas are instantaneously shot down because (1) managers do not comprehend ideas due to lack of experience (2) poor communication with HQ. Promises made at time of hiring are quickly forgotten and approaching upper management in not only frowned upon but can be reprimandable. Lack annual performance review for managers leads to key management positions occupied by under qualified professionals. Pay grade is abysmal. No HR department, the HR department are a bunch of admin employees that aren't trained to handle anything related to HR.
