Pros

Colleagues are excellent, but management is woeful.

Cons

They deducted 20,000 AED (over 4000 GBP) from my final payment in complete violation of what was written in the contract. I've tried to contact the HR Director, Dean, and the Provost about the issue, but all have completely ignored my emails.

Pros

The best part of working at Zayed University was that the expat community, (colleagues), was very supportive and there was a strong sense of team work.

Cons

There was very poor communication between management and faculty/staff. Years ago, there were regular, (monthly), town hall meetings which provided a positive opportunity for management to communicate with faculty/staff and to let faculty know about decision making that was on the horizon. In my last two years of employment, (up to 2021), those meetings decreased to once a semester, and even then the interaction with faculty was almost non-existent.
