What is the best part of working at the company?
The experience working overseas for a company with a large multinational workforce, who you have instant comradary with based on the experience being there and getting there. I loved the local workforce I befriended there and appreciated the opportunities and challenges management is eager to offer.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
With increased size of anything: planes, trains, automobiles, ships, government, or corporations - it takes time for changes to occur or initiatives to be approved, so that could be frustrating and stressfull at times - especially when there may be cultural issues at play.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Personal perspectives on work environment and corporate culture i find depends largely upon your own background. If you worked for government, you may find it fast paced,; however, if you worked for fortune 500, you may find it slow and overly regulated. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was very busy and completely enveloped in day to day challenges effecting the department to which i was attached. However, i really appreciated personal time with the family and hobbies, which tened a lot more not having to spend much time traveling back and forth to work, typical in U.S. Therefore, work life balance was better, as well as the formation of lasting friendships.

Studying abroad as a CDPNE trainee at UNSW has been a highly valuable and transformative experience for me, both academically and personally. The University of New South Wales provides a strong learning environment with modern facilities, supportive faculty, and a diverse international community. During my training, I have gained practical knowledge and hands-on experience that significantly improved my understanding of my field, especially in areas related to finance, problem-solving, and professional communication.
Living and studying in Australia has also helped me develop independence, adaptability, and cross-cultural communication skills. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with students from different backgrounds, which broadened my perspective and enhanced my teamwork abilities. Additionally, exposure to real-world applications and industry practices has prepared me for future career challenges.
Overall, this abroad training program at UNSW has contributed greatly to my personal growth and academic development. I strongly believe that this experience will support my future goals in finance, and I kindly request financial support to continue benefiting from this valuable opportunity.

Reporting at work for 8hrs/day weekdays. During my stay with the company I learned how to manage my time skedule properly. I've done a very close relationship with my co-employs not withstanding my status with the management. There's an instance during one summer when a power failure happens in the building where I am working. It lasted for a couple of hours and I almost painted due to severe hot temperature. When ruling king during that time passed away, news spread among us that we all will receive a bonus check equivalent to a monthy salary. It is a royal tradition in that kingdom to give people a token of gratuity when a head of state perished. I almost jumped for joy although I know that the nation is grieving.

One of the best places I have ever worked! Great work/life balance, generous benefits package, interesting work culture. The work was challenging and rewarding. My skills were allowed to develop and grow. New opportunities were available to me. There was great inter-department cooperation. 

There were extremely busy times and other times when there was a chance to hone skills and take classes, which were provided and sponsored by our Human Resources group. 

The company sponsored many citizenship opportunities. There were many volunteer activities, which enabled me to meet team members from other groups in the company. 

The company rewarded perfect attendance, and provided a large gym and various exercise and health programs. 

Compensation was competitive with other Houston companies, enabling Aramco Services Company to acquire the brightest and best talent in all departments.

It was a pleasure to work at the school and in the aviation department for 11 years. During this time I had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world-from Canada to Australia and from The USA to the Philippines. 

The different cultures were all fascinating and if you got to know these people, they wanted the same thing that an American would. Most 3rd world people would send most of their pay back to their home for their families.  These guys were considered the “big man” in their native country. 

Most of the positions holders are not qualified and were chosen for their influence &  last names only, any employee in this company can check the position holders last names and they will smell stinking sense of favoritisms and sectarianism. 

Training and development,  professional certification, education plans are almost disappeared in most of company organizations.

They have mania of saving money and cost against employees benefits in most of company organizations.

No rules at this company can stop supervisors from injustice against you.

Manpower is the most big challenges in this company. They operating this company with 75,000 employees only !!! Which make employees have a very hard time and getting sick of the work king environment.

There is more and more of negatives.

I was hired by Aramco to help develop their "Emerging Unconventional Asset Department" my role is to help develop and Integrated Operations Center (IOC) while implementing the use of Decision Space Geology "DSG"
Over all my experience here has been very pleasant. Its a great place to work as a Consultant, but if I was offered full time employment I would definitely accept the job as it pays very well and have GREAT Benefits. 
You just have to be open minded and accepting of the culture here in Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are great people, every person I have met has been king, giving, and just very pleasant to work with.
Lets not forget the great food here in Saudi!!!! That's always a nice perk when you relocate
