Pros

Relaxed work commitment. Priority to workplace safety. Akin government job with no absurd hire & fire policy.

Cons

Misogynist people mainly Head of departments and above. Language (Telugu) and caste (Brahmins) get favoured with promotions and site opportunities. Poor ctc and annual hikes. Worst actually. Lucky if you speak Telugu and bonus if you are a Brahmin. Others don't get same accreditation.

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.
