Pros
Health Care, 1 hour lunch break
Cons
nothing
KEO is a GCC company and violating Human rights of its employees despite the many foreign employees from Western countries. It seems that the policy of the company is highly affected by Middle East business environment even western employees especially in HR are dealing with other employees in a very bossy way. It is not a company where you can stay and build a career especially if you work on site. No training is provided and no possibility to advance your skills there. It is ok on a project by project basis (2-3 year max).
Pros
pay is on time.
Cons
Personal connections are playing great role in taking decisions, Company provide different benefits for different employees of the same position

The deadlines were the toughest thing we always face.
and the real happiness when we get the continues thanks for our effort from the management and from our clients.

Enjoyed every aspect of life and work at KEO.Got opportunities to work on challenging projects.
A day starts with a plan for the whole day that I need to accomplish and things that should learn from my colleagues from the experiences. I always make it a point to be cooperative and nice to my co-worker to have a productive day ahead of me.
The hardest part of the job is when you don't expect things that may happen ahead of you but for as long as I believe that everything has a solution and having in mind that I have the support of the company to deal with difficult times, I am confident that I can solve all the problems.

This position was made enjoyable by having an extremely supportive Senior Manager and capable co-workers. The majority of the staff working under my management were from a large multicultural background which tested communication, but created an interesting diversity in the workplace.

Sidre Medical Centre in Doha, Qatar. Imagine billing this amount and building this facility in 3+ years...
About 12,000 employees a day worked on this project 24/7.
Also had an opportunity to see and be part of some of the worlds most largest and expensive projects ever built. Amazingly, the plans and specification were of Western based technology, so I felt very comfortable. Was taken care of very well. 7:30 -4:00 workday sunday - Thursday - off Friday and 1/2 day Saturday.
99% of all signs, advertisements and product was in both Arabic and English. This was an experience that I will never forget and was treated great. If I was younger, I would have stayed for many years.
