One of my simpler friends thinks it might be nice to go and live in Riyadh. He has asked me to inquire here as to what is known about the Men's side of PSU in Riyadh.

To describe someone as simple, oh Catperson, is not usually a compliment. I MAY be suggesting that this friend is not suited to being let out on his own.

I have heard that PSU is one of the better places to work in Riyadh. They do direct-hires. The pay isn't the highest, but they have great benefits, long vacations, good health insurance, no hassle with plane tickets, no problems giving iqamas. They have been around awhile so their HR department has things together.

I've heard pretty much the same about PSU men's section, and I know quite a few people who've worked there. The pay isn't top of the league, but it's pretty good, and the holidays, benefits and DQ housing (if you can still get it) are excellent. Their HR dept seems to have got their act together in the past few years and you will be hired on a full working visa. Of course there are the usual Saudi annoyances but on the whole, you could do an awful lot worse than work for PSU.
