Pros

international environment / a lot of opportunities for young engineers to work abroad and to grow up quickly by making experience "on-the-job"

Cons

poor HR management / lack of clarity about company strategies to senior management / too much bureaucracy slowing down execution processes / salaries low compared with the level of responsibilities that a PM has to take

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.
