Inconsistent and unprofessional - Manager Qatar Foundation Employee Review

      Manager
      Former Employee, more than 5 years

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary, housing stipend, time off

      Cons

      Leadership is inconsistent and things are constantly changing. It's impossible to know what project will continue or be cut due to indecisiveness and leaders without the appropriate training to fully execute the job. Most leaders are in their role because they are related to someone or have the appropriate last name. Many of the nationals do not work so expats are required to do double duty to pick up the slack. Nationals make at least twice what expats do.

          Pros

          Received very good job offer after very positive interview Signed it and was preparing for relocation from the US

          Cons

          Offer was withdrawn after months of radio silence by HR "due to COVID" Management and the dean and chair who interviewed me never reached back to let me know what is happening or apologize for this last minute change Spent over 3000 dollars on very particular and peculiar requirements to get the offer Reimbursement declined I ended up working for a top tier international university, so all ended up well, but do not recommend this company

        Any genuinely good way to answer the "biggest weakness" question without sounding like a cliche. Anyone have any good examples?

        I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.

        I was promised a decision made by mid last week. I followed up on Thursday last week and got a response the update is now followed up with the hiring manager and their director and expect hear back by middle of next week. What should I be expecting if it’s delayed on promised update timeline from the hiring manager interview?
