Pros

Good work life balance. Not much else to add. Skilled people can be found though. Really nothing more positive to be said

Cons

Hierarchy is bloated. No advancement (unless you are italian). Very low salary. Weak compensation (no payment for overtime, no salary escalation). Low resources. Very very political structure, one way vertical management from Milan to overseas structures, very mafia-like. Management do not value people and skills. No transparency.

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.
