Pros

1. Forbes 100 company, World class company 2. Cash Rich - Good infrastructure and ability to lure talented pool of researchers 3. Global exposure

Cons

1. Frequent organizational changes - have seen a change every 6 months 2. Unprofessional HR behaviour and policies with lot of loopholes 3. Managers (~90%) are scared of taking decisions and keep passing the buck to keep their leaders happy 4. Indecisive leadership, Senior Management would rely heavily on consultants and are paralyzed by risk aversion 5. Absolutely no transparency on salaries and increments that can be sought 6. Compliances and Ethics are all on paper / policy alone (in India)

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.
