re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

Hi,

Neom is many things to different people but I wouldn’t go as far as calling it rosy, even if that’s the picture some people would like to paint. That said, there are many benefits being...

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

Trojena staff are already moving to site. A few of them who were at NC2 were relocated last month. I’m not sure what the situation is for new starters though.

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

There are plans to build NC3 but no work has started yet as far as I’m aware. This was announced a few months back.

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

You’ll get coat hangers with every laundry done, which is twice a week. I wouldn’t bother bringing any as the hangers will pile up after a few weeks.

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

Female staff are given priority but even then the minimum waiting time is at least 6 months in NC2. At last check I was number 600 on the list and I joined in December. There are those who started...

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

To be honest, the entire process has gone out of the window and it’s really unclear what to believe at the moment. I arrived at NC2 in December and checked with housing today when I’ll be likely...

Re: NEOM - Degree Exemption Letter

congratulations on getting a yes. I’ve read elsewhere that hiring managers can request degree exemptions but I wouldn’t know how factual that is. Everyone I’ve come across at Neom have degrees.

Re: Working and living in NEOM

Hi, I joined Neom a month ago and it’s been an overwhelming but enjoyable experience. I can’t say much about the social life as I keep to myself mostly (have met many wonderful people though),...

Re: Expected Remuneration

in my experience and what I’ve been told by others, whatever you’re offered will be based on your current salary + an uplift up to 30%. I believe this is the rule in KSA regardless of what level...

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

What stage are you at with your paperwork because your onboarder should have been in contact with you by now. My contact with the HR person ended once I accepted the offer and that’s when your...

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

Thanks for the update. Much appreciated. I haven’t heard from my onboarder but I’ve sent a chaser email this morning.

If I hear anything contrary to what you’ve been told I’ll let you know.

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

Thanks. I really don’t mind the commute, it’s the possibility of paying for the services and facilities that are free in the NC camps that gave me cause for concern. Someone from the onboarding...

Re: Living in Tabuk
