Pros

Salary, medical, vacation time are good. Accommodation at Dhahran is excellent.

Cons

Blame culture, Witch hunts , group punishment, management expect flexibility from workforce but offer none themselves, 48 hour week or else! Poor communication from mid and junior management.. Swingeing cuts to manpower put massive pressure on those who remain. Recently introduced visa and vacation issues, that cause problems with morale. 'Window or Aisle seat' approach, fit in or FO. Pension concerns over enforced retirement at 60. Failure to address or engage in many work force issues. Pick and choose Saudi or UK law depending which suits them best.
