Pros

1. Good Benefits 2. Great place if you don't have any career ambitions and want to live a life of retirement

Cons

1. The work environment is caustic. People call you brother on the face but stab in the back on first opportunity. 2. Management is stuck in unnecessary corporate reforms and politics, with little focus on business development and talent retention. 3. The bureaucracy is at its worst. The organization still works on paper based memos. Every employee is expected to take permission on smallest things. 4. No system of career development. Only the politically connected get ahead. 5. Top level management is appointed on a political and nepotism basis. A few "selected' get to be on the top and make unreasonable ungrounded decision with no regard.

Pros

Excellent work life balance. Reasonable tax free compensation. Very relaxed atmosphere (not sure if it is pros). Average work goes as the best performance.

Cons

Old leadership and management. Saudi domination in decision making. Irrelevenace to the current world realities. Poor results, outcome, outputs. Laid back corporate culture.Too much politics. Extremely boring location and exit and entry rules. No respect to the staff. Lack of accountability. Risk of loosing one's marketable skills and becoming obsolete in the global labor markets.
