Tenaris Reviews

I worked at Tenaris full-time for more than a year

Pros – -Great work experience because of new projects and investments
-Pay is right at the middle of the scale
-Benefits/401K is above average
-Great opportunities: 6 months all expense paid working in Mexico

Cons – -Lots of OT (not much work/life balance)
-Hierarchy is strictly enforced due to the culture
-Hickman plant is located in a small town, not much to do after work
-Lack of right skills for the job which can cause lower than expected results
-Feel alienated when upper management or co-workers speak spanish in front of you

Advice to Senior Management – Be able to take advise from subordinates, open up the idea of learning Spanish instead of forcing them, be respectful of work and life balance, need to listen more before giving directions.
