Pros

You get to interact with technical experts from all over the world. It is a multi-cultural company, and you learn a lot from the people around you. The fast growth means you get opportunities to participate in big projects, that you probably wouldn't get anywhere else.

Cons

It is a growing company, that needs to stabilize its growth. Many of the Italian leaders treat their Canadian counterparts badly. It is not an exceptional place to work yet, but is improving all the time.

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.
