Pros

Ample opportunities for development, dynamic environment especially on offshore projects, friendly people who are open for sharing knowledge, fair compensation and good life-work balance

Cons

Poor career management, no sincere and constructive evaluation feedback, no clear objectives and generally HR is lacking transparency. Management is still mainly Italian.

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.
