Visa Chaos, Broken Promises
Visa Chaos, Broken Promises
Dubai is tax-free, but this is not so much a pro for Dell EMC but for Dubai.
HR is utterly incompetent. They told me on my last day, after I had moved out of my house, that I needed to stay an additional week to cancel my visa because "I didn't resign in the correct manner." This would result in my possible detention if I returned to the UAE. They refused to honor my contract and eventually stopped responding to emails altogether.
As a transfer from the UK, I was advised that nothing would change when transferring to the UAE, but this was a complete lie. Pay rises were promised and never materialized, and I was traveling 95% of the time. I drove my car one time in 45 days. Promises of less travel also never materialized.
The toxic Dell culture seems to be taking root in EMC, and it's all downhill. Most of my colleagues are looking to jump ship, based on conversations I've had, for similar reasons.
Dubai HR are utterly incompetent.
