Pros

Usually good about employees taking off for personal matters.

Cons

There is a huge lack of training for new employees/ Saipem has a problem paying vendors in a timely manor or at all...which reflects badly on the Co. as a whole. The management in general doesn't seem to care about the employees.

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.
