Hello there.

I'm considering working for these people but Google isn't giving me much joy.

Anybody know anything about them? I've searched this forum but other than 'Dammam is terrible' I haven't struck gold.

Thanks in advance.

What's wrong with Dammam? Their recruiting firm seems a little bit dodgy.

No idea. Just the vibe I was getting.

Dammam is not the most cosmopolitan city in the Kingdom so, if you are employed there, living down the road in Dhahran or (a little further) in Khobar might be a bit more relaxed if the commute doesn't coincide with Saudi rush hour when traffic can be congested and not a little hairy.

Apart from being more conservative than its neighbours, Dammam is a beige concrete jungle like any other here.

Fair enough.

I had an interview and they seemed decent people.

What the hell, life's not a dress rehearsal and even if it turns out to be a nightmare at least it won't be boring!
