Pros

Cafeteria and very basic free trainings

Cons

-Technical discussions held in Spanish often, impenetrable barrier to learning technical knowledge -Salary contracts with unspoken but expected overtime -Racist middle and upper management -Widespread inside conversations in Spanish about employees and their futures -Individual performance bonus system which makes the managers very much inhuman to their workers for a bigger bonus - A certain character whose first and last name start with the same letter will micromanage you for no reason other than to give himself and higher ups the appearance of making an effort and applying due vigor while this person has not a shred of understanding of soft power or effective management. He will barge into discussions and attempt to prove his validity by arguing over minutia or criticizing personal characteristics like weight. STAY AWAY FROM HIM. -If you are started in maintenance and not an ex-patriate from Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, or Brazil RUN AWAY!!! Don't get enamored by the starting pay, you only move up if you're a part of the "family" and even then its a very slow rise from there with high workload. This company will not match oil and gas industry pay but will expect undying loyalty to move even one rung up in the ladder. You will have to jump through several hoops to get anything done and when you ask why, the universal answer is "this is how we do things at Tenaris".

Toxic environment to work in

Pros

- You learn the hard way which makes you learn a lot because you have to figure out a lot of things yourself - The compensation was actually very good for the region I was.

Cons

- Very toxic environment - Politics in the company is ridiculous, most of the guys that actually work don't get any credit. - No training for personnel with a lot of pressure on you to deliver. - Instead of management looking for solutions they prefer looking for a fall guy - Management has their favorites and if suggestions are not coming from the favorites they are not acting on the suggestions. - Management acts very unprofessional when people resign. - The HR was very unprofessional and I often heard my job feedback from co workers instead of hearing it from my manager or the HR. When I ask for unofficial feedback, I was lied to saying my work was fine, not until the official appraisal feedback came that I heard certain things that if told earlier, I could have worked on. - I noticed that my appraisal feedback were never looked at and felt my career goals were never considered by the company - Very few departments have clear definition of work to be done which gives the opportunity for your appraisal to be based on personnel feelings than the work you actually do. My advice for anyone coming, make sure you can play the politics game because that is the only way you can survive and negotiate x3 because you are doing a lot of things that are not your responsibilities
