Pros

Good atmosphere, no need to suit up, good opportunities. Not competitive inside the office, but efforts are noticed and a good career is doable.

Cons

Bad location. 1h away from Paris. Sometimes stingy. The top management is in Milan and it is kind of difficult to communicate.

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.
