Hi
Can any one who has attended the interview shed some light on the format of the interview process? i.e. is it very technical? Are they there to grill you?
How easy/ difficult was the negotiation?
Are they providing the accommodation or are they offering accommodation allowance (family status), if so how much allowance are they offering?
Look forward to the responses.

The accommodation is an allowance, and is dependant on your pay grade, which will be made clear in your offer if you get one.
My interview lasted about 10 minutes

Any engineers who have attended the interview? what are they offering in terms of benefits? Any negotiation tips?

Hi guys,
I also had an interview with Al Hosn Gas on the 12th. How do you all think it went? Anyone heard anything back yet? Been looking at apartments and everything but don't want to jump the gun! Thanks

Cant help but think we were promised the world and now we're all on pins waiting for the job offer. The job offer is going to be less than what we were told when we applied for the job, lets just hope its still attractive. Ill let you know as soon as I find out.

Hi, yeah it seemed strange they'd offer you it there and then. I think it sounds better than I expected, there's that remote location allowance and shift allowance to go on top of the basic wage. Had a look on a property search site and you can get a really nice place for 110000AED But yeah will just have to wait and see what the contract says (if its offered! fingers crossed)
Cheers

Here's a thought. For those of you coming with families and a) receiving the housing allowance as opposed to allocated apartment and b) wishing to save as much cash as you can, why not consider locating your family in Al Ain.
If you buy a "full" 4x4 there's roads that go all the way between Al Hosn and Al Ain, it will take you three hours via Al Qua'a and there is a 40km section that is gatch track, ie unmade road.
The cost of housing and schooling in Al Ain is significantly cheaper than AD, and many families enjoy the lifestyle here.

yes al ain is in fact part of abu dhabi. but i wouldnt commute down that road, thats the worse road in the emirate for driving..... bends and fast.... lots of the really really bad drivers along it, and 1.5 hours from aa to ad.
