Pros

Surrounded by very knowledgeable people, used to be a master on their field. A lot of will to do better. Your colleague is a person who think before the action. Several opportunities to have experiences abroad. A good work life balance but also a strong pushing when required. A very wide range of technologies you could learn and professional figures you could be or interact with: an incredible training, if you are lucky. Good facilities.

Cons

The cons of a large, too large Company without a guidance in a period of recession: management does not know what to do anymore. Politics shall support Saipem, but in Rome they just want to be clean, that is: "do nothing, so we don't get impeached".And it is very bad. In lack of deep general guidelines and philosophy, a lot of energy wasted in micromanagement and in the codification of that.

Pros

Great responsibility for offshore operations and quay-side mobilizations. Less technical role (no direct engineering performed), but more so, practical experience-driven when executing onsite.

Cons

Lots of reading and writing (Purchase Requests>Purchase Orders>Final contracts). Bureaucratic procurement (SAP and Word/Excel heavy) and poor interdepartmental follow-up: you have to do the follow-up when the assigned project inspector and expeditor (POSE) don't follow up on your PO. High workload.
