Pros

If you are from a low income country then salary and benefits are ok. If you aren't willing to work and are a certain nationality then apply for a role ...ensure your line manager is of the same nationality - you can get away with doing nothing.

Cons

Underperformers are not removed from the business. Effective people are given more and more work to do. Job satisfaction is dependant on your line manager and his/her interpretation or education level. Westerns shouldn't take a job here if they are going to report to an Indian boss. Its a blame culture - spend a lot of time on politics. Worst department to work in is dnata Corporate Travel - the VP of the department is volatile, rude, treats staff terribly, threatens staff and nothing is done by HR or senior management.

Pros

Living expenses are covered, 5 and 4 star hotels, living in Dubai, allowance at destinations, travelling the world, discount airfare tickets, once in a life time experience, good training facilities.

Cons

Work more hours then any other airline, severe mistreatment by customers and in-flight seniors, company will mostly not back you up if you encounter an unruly passenger, accommodation in Dubai may quite literally be in the desert, if travelling on a staff ticket ground staff are extremely unhelpful unlike most other airlines I encountered, you will be exhausted, you will be emotional, you will be under incredible stress, you will have to work in unhygienic and unsanitary conditions, if you call in sick you will have to visit the doctor to prove you are sick. If you want to progress its based attendance and seniority, as a result unqualified and people who should really not be leader are put into management roles.
