Pros

Unique offshore installations - interesting to work on and learn new things. Salary is good if well negotiated.

Cons

Poor benefits and almost no care about personnel development. People are often forced to travel to unwanted destinations to fulfill project requirements.

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.
