Are there any employees of the above company who can give a precis, good, bad or indifferent?

There is a possible opportunity for me and wanted to do a little digging beforehand.

Cheers.

Dubai or Abu Dhabi?

Dubai.

You should be ok - they've just won 2 big jobs
Trump Towers on the Palm, and a resort on Alaska (the island on the World development).
You'll be working long hours and 11-day fortnights.
What level are you possibly coming in at?

Senior Estimator. I have heard they work six day weeks every other week, seems a little strange relative to everybody else/Western companies working five day weeks.

I took the long hours as a given in Dubai, or are Murray & Roberts the exception to the rule?

Ten and a half or Eleven day fortnights are not that uncomman, nor are six day weeks for site staff - depends on Client organisation in lots of cases.
