Interesting Project, Lack of organizational support

Having assumed leadership role on an interesting and strategic project that is technically challenging provides an enjoyable work experience and daily drive to render the project a success. I have a reasonably talented team however the lack of organizational support in key areas can be a demotivating factor.

Pros: Flexible working environment
Cons: Lack of organizational support

Good workplace exposure

I do a lot of engineering research and hand-on work. I interact well with my teammates and other staff members. I have learnt how to multitask and complete my work on time. I enjoy getting exposed to different fields of engineering. It is challenging to get to master almost everything within a short period of time.

Pros: Great opportunity to develop my career.
Cons: Long working hours in-house and in the field.

High pressure work environment, time management and delivery is everything

Best company to work for especially because they groom you in all areas and challenge you thinking to broaden your understanding. The only only challenge is that there is no growth for support staff.

Pros: Thorough training in all areas
Cons: Little room for growth
