1) best liked by Employees working in Saipem Chennai - is job security with below market level salaries. Some chance of sending to onsite to do Clerical job onsite, so has earn good big bucks. Salaries are low so company won't be firing you. Not competitive salaries
2) everyone is given laptops
Dislikes
1)Below market level salaries
2) terrible work life balance
3) groupism
4) preferential treatment for Saipem GETs, experienced and skilled employees are not liked or given authority or position to lead projects. 20 years experience person has to work under 5 years experience person.
5) only GETs are given preference for going to onsite, so that extra bucks can be earned.
6) few buttering people will always be sent to onsite for long term projects so has to earn extra bucks. Poor experienced guys have to rot in same position & same work.
7) hardworking, efforts, innovative guys are not rewarded. Only buttering guys get good increment & promotion.
8) useless training program, no scope of professional development career advancement.
9) no cultural diversity, only local people are preferred.
10) great disparity or differences in salary or CTC of similar experienced people. Lower experience person will earn more while higher education experience person will languish.
11) blind eye from management & supervisors on who is working & who is wasting time in office.
12) no scope of improvement possible in company. Only guys who suck or do buttering will be preferred.
13) no regards to quality, only for name Quality department is mentioned in company. No documents have quality from drawings, isometrics , specifications any document. Just suck client money
14) when there is work no overtime is paid, even if paid for engineers it is very less per hourly.
15) you will feel like working in a school under strict headmaster. No time flexibility
16) HR will work in snale pace. May be snale will move faster then documents in HR department.
17) there is no quality manpower or skilled employees in Saipem GET batches. Terrible in technical knowledge....Read More

The company is good but the working culture is worst. The people who are in HOD positions are the culprit for the bad culture. They need to be changed with new people.

The company used to provide good lunch which was more like buffet and had variety. Of course it is secured job but it comes with high BP, Sugar, tension and confusion.
Dislikes
No ethics. Simple , they ask to do one thing and expect different result. Sometimes I felt like working in grocery shop. I'll never set foot again in Saipem.
