Cons

Very disorganized Bad communication Favoritism towards expats Terrible pay No room for improvement because managers want you to stay one place No community/environmental engagement If you can carry news you’ll mostly definitely get better pay and/or position So much room for improvement

Pros

Decent Salary, job growth opportunity, life/work balance, and very relax atmosphere To be honest, I'm tired of hearing all these negative Nancy's bashing Saipem and then, we hear you are trying to apply back or you're miserable at your new job! Or those that complain when they don't do their own job right yet they want to be praised and rewarded for being lazy/cocky/or have the feed me with a silver spoon mentality. I have worked here over 3 years and I love it, could it be better? Yes it can, but have I left or plan on leaving? No, because I've grown a lot here and believe I can continue to grow. When I feel capped out, I will leave, but not bitter or negative like most, b/c at one point, they took care of me in at least one way. No one here is trapped into slavery, you can leave if you're so miserable. Also, I believe that your department and the relationship you have with your manager is a HUGE factor. I have noticed that the people that don't get along with their manager is because they are just as hard headed as they are and act like 5 year olds that take everything personal and everything/everyone is out to get them. Those who have a good experience here are those who compromise, follow procedures, and learn to let things go and not take stuff so personal.

Cons

The "Italian" Way or no way

Pros

- Good to above average benefits. - Qualified management & staff not hired just "because we had to have somebody" - Everyone here actually speaks English, Management here from Italy who actually are concerned about improving their English skills, and not just avoiding them. ESL Leaders in EPCM companies all over western Canada with their poor English skills and appalling written grammar could learn a lot from this refreshing European attitude towards integration. - Interesting perks like free/reduced membership fees to fitness clubs, $300.00/yr. fitness budget that you'll have no problem spending at MEC 10 minutes walk south of here.

Cons

Having recently merged with Saipem Globally, all software upgrades & decisions alike need to be made at head office in Italy. This creates huge problems when trying to get necessary software upgrades for project requirements at all, let alone in a hurry.
