RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Kentz full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Face paced. Multi-Cultural engineering teams, unique project locations, and the opportunity to work outside of your comfort zone.
Cons
Not much room for payment increases, even though the demand for skilled Irish employees is massive, especially on Middle East-based projects, there seems to be an under appreciation of the workers already in the company.
Advice to Management
It would be good to see monetary incentives for targets reached and higher performance based rewards - given the fact that the only motivation for most employees relocating to these harsh environments is a financial one.
