Use Saipem only to gain experience

Pros

Good benefits (Vacation/Sick) policy, great laid back environment in most departments - including dress code. It's easy to get comfortable around the people and the settings. This company was better when I started then when it ended.

Cons

For me the biggest problem is HR which is badly run, bad decisions and bad managers chosen for these positions. Don't expect them to have your back nor will they help you. Always full of drama because they can't get their work straight, even when they feel they have made the right call. Might as well bring in children to run it. Terrible communication skills and NO employee appreciation. To work there, stay clear of that department. The other departments are generally good. Italians are mostly chosen for managerial positions so there's not much room for growth since there are only 3 local managers. They have different culture so you need to have an open mind to work here. My recommendation, just get in, gain experience and as soon as you find something better.. get out!!! The outlook does not look good

Pros

While project wise the company offers good teamwork and highly competent multicultural and competent environment the head offices are basically a nest of vipers and political laches not worth anyone's time. i pity the young people starting to work in Milan because they not only wont get a chance to experience what is the company's core business but will get sucked into political and intestine wars.

Cons

as per the above.

Don't do it, it's not worth it.

Pros

Exposure to interesting projects and given big responsibilities for your qualifications. Some good American colleagues. The benefits are not bad, good amount of vacation and flexible hours.

Cons

Unbelievably sexist, racist and inapropiate in every level. The pay is below market, raises are not easy to get even if they praise you at your performance review. The company is falling apart, it's hard to get information or get anything done, communication is a nightmare and makes the job a lot more difficult than it should be. Corporate makes unreasonable demands and the hours can get crazy for people in certain positions. I could go on and on... If your kids are going hungry and you have no other choice you may be able to put up with this place, but know that one day, someone with more time and more balls than me is going to sue them for harassment.
