There are a lot of communications jobs being advertised recently. Is there a restructuring happening and can anyone give some insight into that department?

Managers are petrified of anything seem to be negative about Aramco and hence the “kingdom.” For good reason I suspect.
This department = propagandists to cover up the corrupt smudge that is SA and KSA.
It's the same circus, just different clowns.
Avoid like the plague. Imagine trying to gloss over all the corruption and cr-p that goes on there.
Saudi Aramco PR is like Pravda. The bosses don't want ANY NEGATIVITY. Imagine being a comms person in that environment where every has to look and sound like Sunny Delight. No matter how much money they offer you run a mile.
There are people there who have been moved around or demoted.
There are no clear job descriptions there so you could turn up and be under someone less experienced than you who orders you around with no idea about PR or Marketing.
It is fake
Don’t touch this role with a shllt covered stick.
Expat fired and needs to be replaced with locals, simple, that department is supposed to be one with 100% Saudinization.
Staffed by stooges and bag men
No real people there
Look at all the negative press Aramco has gotten from WSJ, FT and others. What do you suppose happened to the PR folks after those articles came out? Management HATES to look bad. Period. From what I saw during my time there, the easiest way to get fired was to be in any way associated with a negative event that made it into the public domain.
Lot's of people regularly fired there. Wouldn't go near it.
Sound like high turnover jobs
