Pros

Great exposure to operational criticalities and complex projects, therefore there is great opportunity to learn by doing and build up solid competence.

Cons

Very poor work-life balance and HR management. Incredibily poor training programs - actually, the company DOESN'T provide training, as the management fear to lose the people they invest in. Management style is generally very rough and primitive. Poor opportunities for a good career, as competence and professionality is not very well rated - more frequently, loyalty to management is preferred. Very poor or no retention plans and incentive schemes; wages are generally lower than average, there is a very high turnover as skilled people find good opportunities elsewhere, sooner or later.

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.
