Pros

SABIC has huge growth ambition and the resources and long term decision making focus to see this achieved. There is a strong focus on delivery and growing momentum towards global collaboration and innovation.

Cons

The culture is highly conservative and decision making can often be slow (& frustrating). Sometimes the desire to achieve results and achieve top quartile benchmark status in every area can lead to unrealistic aspirations and sub-optimal decisions versus value creation.

Pros

Great Workplace with a great sense of community. Interesting research that kept employees engaged

Cons

Currently restructuring going on. Many layoffs occurring at this time. There would be gaps in communication between and American and Saudi leadership. Many milestones reached on American side often lost steam once they reached Saudi review. Promotions were not equally vetted.
