UAE jobs with Serco
Hi All,
I'm thinking of applying for a job in the UAE and have a few queries for those already there or recently returned home.
1 - Is there a good working envoirnment with decent kit and good relations between local and ex-pat ATCOs?
2 - Is management and more or less supportive than most ATCOs are used to?
3 - Does the money really go as far as the Serco website suggests and is there a reduction in salary until validations have been achieved?
4 - Is the provided housing of a good standard and in good locations?
5 - Is there a good ex-pat social scene? For the unmarried (male) ATCO, are there enough single western women out there to prevent enforced celibacy on grounds other than personality?!?
6 - Is there any bad blood between locals and ex-pats due to the "war on terror"?
7 - Is there a career path to speak of, or is a posting in UAE best seen as something to do for a few years before returning home (UK in my case)?
Thanks in advance to those who reply. I'm off to check out the guide books and see about a recce/holiday!
