Which has more potential for career growth ?

Working at UAE Academy or working at HCT ?? Or are they
basically the same ?

HCT

Career growth? Whatever that means...

Just reading this thread, it seems to me that the choice is a new place that is already demonstrating all the negatives of new employers or a place that has been around for many years with known and predictable positives and negatives. Control and organization versus... possible chaos?

But the number one reason to pick HCT - they provide housing and a generous furniture allowance. The definition of nightmare is trying to find a flat in Abu Dhabi these days.

As Tom said choose HCT.

There is no competition . Actually to even consider comparing them is a joke.The Academy is a joke.

Reasons not to pick UAE Academy

1. Salary not competitive and arbitrary- depends on nationality and who who know.
2.You will never see any HR policies.
3. Salary often late with no apologies or explanation from senior management.
4.Insufficent housing allowance. You may gey offered 96000 but they do not want to pay you a check in advance - they say go and get a loan from the bank
5.You will never see any HR policies.
6. No education allowance, but some get it. You will never see any HR policies.
7. If you have a sick day during probation ( 6 months) they deduct salary and your housing.
8..You will never see any HR policies.
9.. There are no increments. But some get them.
10. You will never see any HR policies.
11.Management is unethical, completely ineffectual, actually a bunch of idiots, and HR will screw you.

The latest is that they imagine are going to become a university

The Academy is a shop front run by a bunch of cowboys - beware
