Pacific Controls (UAE) Reviews

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....

I at least need a 10, 000 page book for this, to write the complete cons. I don't know why my last review is not published, maybe because the admin thought I am exaggerating it. I can guarantee you that not a single word said against Pacific Controls is manipulated, but all the positive reviews are. What would you say about a company which asks their employees to clear out the accommodation overnight without any prior notice, you will not be able find any in the world. That's because you missed Pacific Controls. The only company in Dubai which promise quality accommodation and give cheap labour camp accommodation for engineers that a normal labour can't bare. They doesn't consider their employees as humans but like machines/slaves who doesn't have any rights or values.
