Varied work but poor company culture

Pros

There are great opportunities within oil & gas to get a varied amount of work, go offshore and be responsible for the installation of multi-billion pound assets. Within Saipem, there are small benefits - a little bit of flexible working is allowed, gym membership is subsidised |(up to £20 a month), membership with 2 institutions is reimbursed.

Cons

The method of succeeding in this company is not on your work merits but who you liaise with and win over. There have been incidences of colleagues requesting a pay rise and getting a substantial amount (without proving workload/responsibility) and other cases where colleagues have attempted to ask for a pay rise and been given a warning. In my opinion this is completely contradictory.

Pros

Bonus can be reasonable, however you will earn it !

Cons

Dreadful management that are stuck in the dark ages. Severe lack of communication to employees. The worst HR department ever.

Pros

Good for young engineers with little or no experience in oil industry. Lots of exposure early on, but this is where it ends.

Cons

No career prospects in long run, if your not Italian or British (in UK office). Chaotic organisation not for everyone, but for most flexible and resourceful people. Poor managers, not interested in development of young engineers. HR very poor. Making a lot of simple mistakes, slow, unresponsive, and very unprofessional.
