Default Info about a IT company

Hi,

I've conflicting information about a IT company with offices in Abu Dhabi.

Company name is ATS Group Ltd and you can imagine some people say it's a scam and others that is a good company .

Any info about this company will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Regards,
Harada

Hi Harada, do you have any information about this company? I have been interviewed by this company today. But i suspect whether it could be a scam company.

If you have any information please share with me.

thanks
nimoboy

I've accepted a job with ATS Group and am due to start work with them very soon in ad.

I've been interviewed numerous times by them .

My final interview was in Europe and they covered the costs of everything (flights etc).

Based on my experience with them, I have no reason to doubt the legitimacy of ATS group (although I must say that this thread does worry me a little).

I have had to provide many things along with my bank account details. Things such as passport, driving licence, education certificates etc etc.

There has been quite a long process of personal security clearance and visa application, and I have been kept up to date throughout.

I received my employment visa last week.

I have no reason to doubt the legitimacy of ATS Group, but I will feel like an idiot if I turn up at the airport and there is no flight!

I think there are few companies on the web going around using the name ATS. Some are indeed scams.

However based on similarities between your specific experience with "ATS" and my own, backed up by some searches on google I do not believe you have anything to be concerned about.

I'd be quite interested to hear your feedback once you have caught the flight.

By the way, if I can ask a cheeky question: How long from first contact to receipt of your employment visa?

Good luck and enjoy!

I'll update the thread once I start work (hopefully the flight booking actually exist).

I was approx 6 months from first contact till I was interviewed one on one.

Can't say too much about the work I'm going to do (prob said too much already), BUT there is a good reason why information on the company is hard to come by.

Fingers crossed
