Pros

Balance exists between work life & family. Overall friendly environment for co-workers to work together. Holiday & special event meals are sometimes provided by company showing the appreciation of employee work.

Cons

Business practices are inconsistent and vague to employees & vendors. Lack of internal and external communications. No frequent opportunities for pay raises, advancement & training available. Too much fraternizing and socializing - employee productivity is lacking.

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.
