Pros

The best thing about Saipem are the people. They are fun, knowledgeable and mostly helpful. It's a great place to start your career, to learn the trade and grow professionally. There is a lot of variation between managers but my experience is that, as long as you do your work, they are flexible about time offs and such.

Cons

Managers are bit always promoted because of ability. Promotions, salary increments and opportunities is not necessarily dependent on ability and performance. Decision making amongst management is not very good.

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.
