Dear All,

I'm a mechanical engineer , 8.5 years experience, I've got an offer to work in SABIC (Jubail) with a basic salary around 10,000 SAR but the contract will be with a contractor (Dar El Riyadh).I know that SABIC is a very good company but I've a lot of concerns regarding working through a contractor not a direct hiring with sabic, so I want your advice in this situation:
1) Is it safe to work in SABIC through a contractor or they can end the contract anytime (What is the history in similar cases)?
2) Do anyone know any thing about DAR EL riyadh Company?
3) What is the possibility to join SABIC directly in the future (within 1-2 years).
4) Is there any benefits are not available to contractor's employees, what about bonus & annual increases?

The interview was with a supervisor from SABIC, the HR employee (from Dar El Riadh) told me that only your payroll will be from Dar El riady but you'll have all the rights of SABIC Employee's....is this a true information.
I need your advise to decide whether to travel or not.

All tier one companies in Saudi Arabia hire the same way.

If you want to join any company directly once you end your contract from the contracting company is you have to have good relations in SABIC or others. So depending on your relations or showing SABIC people your capability they can hire you in future. It happens everywhere so make sure how you make things on your favor... Good Luck
