Pros

Amazing architecture Sparkling clean everything State of the art equipment in many areas

Cons

One of the most disheartening things about working at CCAD is that there is the constant “elephant in the room” that they follow the practice of the UAE where employees are compensated according to their passport . So two employees doing the same job with identical experience and education could literally be making 50% of the other depending on where they originated from. One example that I saw more than once was there was a Filipino nurse that I knew there that had been working in the United Kingdom and came to CCAD, and she was criticized and ostracized by other Filipino employees because she made a much much higher salary than them, even though they both had trained at the same place in the Philippines. Another problem I see if this place is that there are policies that are put into place but not enforced. Even though this is a hospital, the local population have decided to use it for their long-term nursing home needs. So they would probably brag that they take care of their elderly population, that they don’t believe in nursing homes but yet they would admit their family to a hospital for literally years - is the dirty little secret that the hospital has lots and lots and lots of patients that have literally been there for a year or years. This is obviously not a prudent use of Mubadalas resources

Pros

Health insurance and maternity benefits are great, though some people have been aggravated by the addition of a deductible in 2026. There is also decent tuition reimbursement, but you need to carefully read all of the policies as the wording can be tricky and even HR doesn't understand all of their own policies.

Cons

Pay seems inconsistent and raises are a joke, getting lower and later every year. PTO is decent but keep in mind that getting paid for holidays comes from that PTO and plan accordingly. HR is a complete JOKE! They never answer, don't seem to understand any of their policies, and have no idea what they are doing. It takes weeks to get ahold of anyone, and they are the farthest from helpful I've ever experienced. Retirement matching is based on years of service, they will put the money in the account but only vest after 3 years so don't count on the amount it shows unless you know 100% for sure you will be there more than 3 years.
