Pros

Mega Projects. Good for Beginners. Different work culture.

Cons

No Ethics. Same experienced & Similar post people have varied salaries like 2 times. Growth Rate is poor. Salary double in 15 to 20 years. People Good friends with Italians make promotions. Increments are sometimes at incredible 0% to 1.5%. Unexpected people get 5%. No Rules. Random Management. People removed with little or no reason. You have to skip or or postpone Vacations, but Italians dont lose even a single day. Double Standards for Asians and Europeans.

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.
