Pros

Good place for immigrants to start

Cons

Unethical practices, employees treated with a lack of respect, many many people getting fired on an ongoing basis for daring to express any kind of opinion. The Italians keep information to themselves. The working atmosphere is unorganized and chaotic. Expectations change without any apparent communication to English speaking people. Chaotic environment. Crisis management, lack of respect and bullying is common.

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.
