Pros

Emirates used to be a positive environment to work. Now it is just a sad organization.

Cons

You should definitely think twice about wanting to work here. Though Emirates is portrayed as a great brand you will quickly learn that the company culture is extremely negative. There is no advancement potential for employees in the US. They will interview you for more senior positions that open up but ultimately bring in people from Dubai who are no more capable than our own employees.

Pros

-Get paid to travel the world, stay in 4-5 star hotels, with avg. 24 hr layovers at destinations -Employer provides housing, utilities, transportation to & from work -Good health insurance and health care -Can achieve seniority relatively quickly -Reserve/on-call duties are only 2 months per year for all crew (not seniority based) -Good discounts around Dubai at restaurants, bars, beach clubs, shops

Cons

-Housing is shared (typically 2 bed/2 bath for 2 crew) and is assigned to you along with a flatmate. It can be difficult to change accommodation or flatmates. Single accommodation is only allowed for pursers (flight managers). You can take a housing allowance to find your own place, and if you are married this is your only option, however, the allowance will not get you very far in Dubai. The company's apartments are typically nicer. -Sick/attendance policy is stricter than most international airlines -UAE aviation regulations allow crew to operate for 7 days on, 1 day off then 7days on, 2 days off. Most other regions do not allow crew to operate for more than 5 days straight (not including layovers).

Pros

Great interactive hiring process, and activities but they need to be monitored by 2 recruiters because one might miss what other can catch.

Cons

Only One recruiter for 40 people. Not a second opinion from another recruiter. I saw great responses, people with great open personalities and dressed impeccable who did not get selected for the 3rd round of the open day. I did see sloppy dressed, non confident individuals with tattoos and really long nails get selected by only one recruiter.
