Pros

Is there anything? If yes, all for Italians only. Only good thing is, if you sustain with Saipem Canada for two years, your will survive anywhere in the world.

Cons

Endless. There is no Management, no guidance, no leadership from the senior management. There are two many cumbersome processes and systems which are difficult to follow for anybody. Top management speaks only Italians and they consider all Canadians are aliens. Safety of people is only siad for the business, never believed by senior management.

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.
