Pros
The senior management (Ian King & few others) are committed to improving the culture and impression of the organization, they are promoting all the right values and codes of conduct. They have the best interest of the company, employees and the country in their hearts.
Cons
Unfortunately the cultures still remains as corrupted as ever, reminds me of the old GEC days. Some staff in very senior positions (including those direct reports to Ian King) have a very warped interpretation. The company is great to work for if your face fits. The business in Saudi is definately has the better environment, there, you are openly discriminated against, however, in the UK it is very hypocritical and two faced. One managing director once said to me (off the record) that if you are over 50 we are not interested in your career development. Some of the directors leave you totally gobsmacked, how the hell did they get to that position. No wonder the company is in the mess its in.
