Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE
Im sure everyone has their reasons but some of them would be:
NEOM caters for your every need basically
NEOM has great benefits
NEOM has decent housing, with Bechtel/Aecom you will not be living in decent housing
NEOM provides schooling for kids
NEOM is the client
NEOM has a wider range of roles

For me, I am still in early talks with Bechtel/AECOM HR. Not even done an interview yet.
but for me really the main driver is the salary. That's why I was confused about that 25% fixed increase.
when I have more things happening with them negotiating wise I will come back here to share.
If there is anyone here hired by Bechtel/AECOM l hope he/she can share anything useful with me.
thanks mate.

Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE
What’s more important to you - the opportunity or the salary? If a pay increase and no living costs isn’t an incentive then what would be? No shortage of very bright people queuing up to join.

Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE
All I am after is the salary and because most of the people here are after NEOM as an employer hence my question regarding salary not relevant until someone hired by Bechtel/AECOM is willing to share his experience with me here.
thanks mate.

I haven't said that I am one of these bright people. So, good for them chasing an opportunity in NEOM and wish them luck.

So, in my opinion, if your proffessional prority and main goal is only to get a very high salary here in KSA from the beggining and to be loaded in a record time (which is pretty logical and legitimate) without considering any other bennefit, then Neom is not the company that fit for you. I'm sure EPC contractors such as Betchel/Aecom is more closer to your work-mindset and you'll be happy working with them and achieving your goal.

Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE
I am in the onboarding process and have been asked to complete a housing form - on the form it says I will be temporarily based in a studio in the Oxagon community, not NC1 or NC2. Does anyone have any experience of this? Is this just what they write for all housing forms or will l actually be based in Oxagon? Is anybody else based there? I'm concerned about being in a studio as I am bringing my husband and my dog, she is small but barks A LOT at doorbells, people outside the door etc so will probably be a problem for neighbouring apartments!
Oxagon arguably one of the best camps and I’d love to be placed in Oxagon. I’ve spoke to couple of people and everyone agrees that NC2 is really bad, and some people packed the bag and left after seeing NC2 - so do your research (some pics and videos available in the google map), and also consider the fact that the noise proof is really bad, you hear your neighbors :’)

Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE
One question to someone who did their medical tests in Dubai (UAE) - can you advise which clinic you did?
I finished background check and degree attestation, but want to first do the medical check before resign, just to be 100% sure
But as everyone complains onboarding team is really difficult to get hold of, and the agency insists they need some more documents from NEOM to start the process. So before all that, if I can get the medical checks done then I can resign with the peace of mind. TIA in case anyone can help me on this!

Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE
Thanks for the replies.
I have my onboarding teams call tomorrow as I have passed the background checks. Could anyone shed any light on what this call is about?
Also, has anyone had any luck simply refusing to accept the job offer unless they are housed in NC1? I've been put down as being in a studio and I'm going to be with my husband and our dog. Our dog barks very loudly at doorbells, noises from neighbouring apartments etc and that's why we have lived in only detached villas in the last 2 years. I am very apprehensive about bringing my husband yappy dog to a tiny studio where she will undoubtedly be a nuisance to neighbours. I was informed at the beginning of this whole process that I would be getting a 1 bed villa in nc1 and obviously a studio in nc2 is quite different from that! I know that the team I am joining is very busy and understaffed at the moment so I am tempted to play hardball on this point, but I don't know how successful that would be.

The onboarding call is fairly standard, they show you a presentation about NEOM, answer any questions you may have etc and give you an idea about what to expect!
I have It on good authority there will be flights direct from NEOM Bay airport to Dubai starting around the end of June which everyone is pretty excited about!

Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE
Hello everyone. Thank you for your help and advices
1. I have passed interview with consultant company and confirmed some commercial and technical points which will be included to contract by consultant company. I was told in the beginning of May that there will be online interview with NEOM. Till today no reply from them. Are you familiar with such case?
2. What is the situation with taxes from salary?

Good luck playing hardball - You will not be provided accommodation in NC1 before the rest of the people who have been in NC2 for the past few months do. Simple as that.
It is standard protocol to be provided accommodation in NC2 before moving to permanent residences at NC1. If you wish to play hard ball, then that is your choice, but it will not get you any where.

Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE
Thanks for the advice on this, my main concern is that my dog will disturb my neighbours in a studio, but if Neom don't take that into consideration then I suppose my only options are not to take the job or hope that the disturbance isn't too bad.

Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE
The flights to Dubai would be fantastic, can i ask how certain this is? As I know that the project has been faced with a lot of delays. Any update on when they will start flying further internationally ie to the UK? I assumed this would be their last priority as what's the point in introducing international flights until the area is actually up and running as a tourist destination, but hopefully I'm wrong!
