Pros

Well integrated team(s). Good balance between private life and work. Quite good professional work (specially if you can experience the site activities). International environment.

Cons

Rigid procedures and bureaucracy. Not too many benefits. Career path is dependent from many factors not only the professional results.

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.
