I am considering leaving Doha for Dubai to pursue an opportunity with Shell...What is the corporate culture like within Shell and What is it like to work and live in Dubai?

The headhunter indicated that it is a grade 2. Evidently the VP is looking to retire in 12-18months and I would be the candidate for that job depending on how I progress within the culture. Of course, there are no guarantees...
Stay cool...
an exciting place to live. But I can't say the same about Shell. I worked for them for more than ten years before parting my way. How good is Shell? greatly depends on your boss. Here are my experiences
Pros: Good paymaster, Good perks, they will train you a lot and if you are an a*#@hole and act like one, than plenty of growth.
Cons: Highly beaurocratic, Work life balance= zero( your work will be your life) very demanding. Normally very flat hierarchy, less chances of overtaking old-timers for a promotion.
By the way, which job group are they offering? JG 4 and above would be nice though.
get a bycycle or motor bike to go office and elsewhere.. that makes life easier in dubai...
Shell is a Great Company, Dubai- Traffic is extreme and personally wouldn't like to live there because of that.
