Hi All,

Good day to you!

I have got an IT job with Emirates IT Group (Mercator account) and will be moving to Dubai by this December.
If anyone from here have worked with them,please do share the feedback on how the organisation and its work culture is.

Also I have been told that only Friday is Holiday in their company,so it will be quite hectic,I would like know if there are any half days and also the list of mandatory holidays in Dubai.

Salary on Offer is 12k and I would want to save atleast 40-50% of it.

Thanks in advance!
