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.
