Accomodation
- car - fringe benefits :
If you are employed locally it is very unlikely
that you will be able to negotiate housing.
Whether or not you get a car will depend on your
function and your place in the hierarchy of the
company. On the other hand if you are an expatriate
with an international company you will probably
have accomodation, car, travel allowance, return
trips home etc included in your
contract.
Working
conditions :
The local work conditions will be applied with
their advantages and their inconveniences.
With an international company you will have no
administrative problems with police, customs,
immigration, taxes, visas or consular declarations,
the companies usually have a service which deals
with all that for their personnel and handles any
problems that should come up.
Working
hours will be the local ones, foreign companies are
subject to the legal obligations in force in the
country.
