Pros

Extremely interesting business. Every project is unique. Huge business and countries complexities make it a wonderful place where to learn.

Cons

Slow moving careers. Low autonomy and limited people empowerment. Clientelism and personal relationships do facilitate careers.

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.
