Your feedback will be greatly appreciated!

P.S. - I have read all the previous posts on INTERLINK/EGA/TVTC, looking for more recent info

Be warned - if you are NOT Muslim, you will have a difficult time. Almost every teaching employee is a British or American Pakistani Muslim, here to "embrace" their Islam.

At IPA, you have some very self-centered Saudi male prigs who will fire people if they don't "like" them. Likely not to get the contract renewed.

These people mean well, but it just doesn't work.


Not really surprising, since they face high level of discrimination in the west.

INTERLINK/EGA is a company that has a few different contracts and are constantly looking for new employees. From their policies are open deception, cheating, and stealing from their employees. There are now in the country a number of lawsuits against this company for their lack of paying their employees their salaries and there end of service bonus. They have been known for other lesser infractions, such as shorting employees on their flight money and not paying them for their sick days. They are on the brink of a class action suit by a large number of their teachers for the same issues regarding their pay.
The foundation of their contract is a lie. They try to deceive their teachers to think that they are receiving their end of service payment at the end of every year. This is actually a common practice for many companies. If you are desperate, and you don't mind being cheated, then this is one of the better places to work. But if you value integrity then I would strongly suggest you stay far away.

That sounds like the anonymous note -

"All is discovered. Flee !"

Experience teaches us many things. These guys, EGA-INTERLINK, usually place a searing Brand on most people's brains.
