Pros
Money is ok. Many people have survived here without doing any work so if you want to come and get paid without doing anything, this is the place!
Cons
Very poor management! Very poor HR department for getting residency (Indian Mafia as they are known)! The Mandoop's need to be "greased" (Paid $) if you want to "speed" things up. One friend asked for a reciept after paying and got laughed at. I understand that this may be the way to do business in the Middle East, not I am suprised WP condones this behaviour. I am sure when shareholders find out about this, they will not be pleased. Corporate culture is very poor, "blame game" is alive and well:) I worked in other WP offices and Kuwait does not nurture the "talk" specifically around "people are assets". Safety is not part of the culture here, I got laughed at on my first week here when I tried to do a Safety moment (ONE WAY). Hope you read this Andrew:) I have had the project director tell me to work overtime ensuring I would get paid, but KOC would not sign the overtime approval after I worked (from the project director's instruction). Client KOC is very unrealistic! KOC is the same way, do not "walk the talk" and is very much a "Blame" culture. DEFINETLY DO NOT WORK HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
