Can anyone comment on Petro Rabigh
I feel like it's a sister company of ARAMCO, with the intention of cheep manpower & max production. Not sure if that is true, it just my personal feeling,
looks like they don't provide housing, schooling for children they give a fixed amount based on salaries. The allowance may not be enough to rent expat compound or western school. they do not garenty expat compound (maybe they don't have expat compound in Rabigh / KAEC)
They don't even provide family visas for your family. Family visa you have to manage on your own after you get your AQAMA & that takes about 2 months so in reality it may take 6-8 months to bring family in Saudi Arabia
However with ARAMCO your & your family visa gets processed at the same time and you can bring your family with you from the day one, your housing & schooling for kids are pre arranged.

I am not sure if I am getting real impression of Petro Rabigh.
I will appreciate if someone can share their on boarding experience
