UCC is paying very good salaries compare to other companies. but duty timings depend on site requirement. sometimes its even 7am to 10PM too without OT. In UCC there is no word in their dictionary "Increment". Yeah you can get bonus almost every two years either half or one full basic salary. Everyday you wake up with a fear of termination (Sometime without reason). But still its very good company for hardworking talented peoples who is not expecting any increment.

Dear Ashraf Nabil, sorry for the delay in reply your query, before joining please check with few people who is working/was worked with them. If you are a professional you can't work with them, if you are looking for some monetary benefits for a short period it is suitable for you. I know even in HR Department within two years 3 HR directors and 3 HR managers has resigned/terminated. HR performance is very disappointed one. SO AGAIN DON'T JOIN WITH UCC OR KCT uncles you have no other option.

Dear Friends ' VERY CAREFUL TO JOING UCC OR KCT (both are under same management) sorry to say that the entire Management team is UN PROFESSIONSALS. Only positive thing is they have enough projects awarded due to some connections with the high level. ONE WHO JOINED CAN EXPECT THE TERMINATION IMMEDIATELY OR ELSE YOU SHOULD RESIGN. @@@@PLEASE DON'T JOING UCC or KCT. please pass this messages to all of your friends and relatives.

Are you related to Diwakar by any chance? I don't know about specialists posting in this forum. Their views are immaterial to me.Processing of Visa is under Qatar Authorities. KCT/UCC cannot do anything about that.

I'm getting an offer from KCT as PM. Salary QR 25,000.00.

"Is it same as Al Khayyat Contracting or are these two seperate companies?"

Two seperate entities but same Owners. Al Khayyat managed by the Older Brother and UCC by the younger brother.

"How much a PM should be asking for a Job. Total exp 12 years."

Depends on your capabilities.

dear friend.. may be the company is good. but their treatment is very very bad. one of my filipino friend went there for an interview last day. the appointment was at 10.00 am. he reached in the office at 9.45am. the secretary told him that he has to wait for the driver as he has to report in the site office near dukhan for the interview. at last the driver came at 11.30 and they went at the site. there was a few people were in the group for the interview. actually the site is in side the desert and it is very difficult to reach there. the driver had left after dropping them at the site and he came back after 2hours. these people got ready to go back as the interview was over. the driver asked my friend to report to the administration manager. the administration manager asked my friend to stay there because he has to send some one to the head office in the car. actually all of them got tired because they didn't have the lunch till that time. he noticed this to the administration manager, but his reply was very very rude.. if they start to behave with the people before appointing them... how they can work in this company..?

-Working hours was not respected (written 8 hrs, then over ruled to 10 working hrs-6 days a week)

-They dont respect holidays, they call to work for holidays also (Not paid)

-Transferring visit visa to working visa takes very long time.

-Those who work there don't have any insurance or medical since the time they were hired til this time..

-Salary comes on the first week of the month..

-they have good projects but sad to say very unprofessional in terms of managing their people (many good workers have resigned due to this)

The company is a family run business with 2 brothers from Syria, with construction background, running the entire operation. The company has been in Qatar only since April 2011. Even though they have landed some of the most significant projects in Qatar they lack organization and professionalism. No health care, full 6 day work week, no paid vacation for 1 year and they have hired and fired far too much.
