Pros

After graduation, especially the former Snamprogetti, provides very good training on the job and competitive salary for junior engineers in Milan area. It is also a chance to practice english, since many italians still don't speak fluently. A couple of years at Snamprogetti is well recognized in the energy industry in general

Cons

You need to be motivated, otherwise if you're not willing to work nobody will never put you under pressure. After 5 years salary progression is stopped.

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.
