Pros

If you work overseas Saipem gives you a wide range of experiences. You learn while doing, you have the chance to improve the processes and deal with great people from different backgrounds. If you love working under pressure and commit yourself this is your place.

Cons

Lack of people management and poor mentoring. Career path not clear. Salary not aligned with the market / competitors for similar position.

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.
