Pros

Good work culture, excellent work-life balance, abroad opportunities (both short term and long term, mainly deputation to Milan office), excellent DA during abroad deputation, good exposure to work in deputation

Cons

Less opportunity to grow if anyone is not willing to travel, only some part of the project is offloaded to New Delhi office, which lessens growth opportunity

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.
