Pros

it's a great organization, full of good people and with awesome benefits at least if compared to the average italian company

Cons

bad calls from top management are causing troubles that affect all the company, throwing mud on the work of dedicated employees (and possibly eventually losing contracts)

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.
