Great learning opportunity

This company offers a learning experience for a graduate. My exposure to reality started when I was still doing my 2nd year of undergraduate where by they offered vacation work during the holidays. Being exposed gave me time to realize and figure out what would I want to do in order to persuade my career. I learned the most from them and enjoyed being in the field. Since my studies were chemistry based I had an opportunity to find my way around the laboratory as well as being exposed and understanding the safety and regulations of the laboratory. I was also able to affirm that I’m able to have a good working relationship with coworkers because we got along just fine.

Pros: Great opportunity for learning and development.
Cons: No opportunities for promotion

Learning curve yet there is many matters

My work day starts at 7h45 in the morning until 16h30 weekdays. I do investigation of all reported matters that includes alleged criminal matters, security breaches and recommend the disciplinary hearing or opening criminal cases. I produce comprehensive investigation reports after interview of witnesses. Co-workers are so friendly and I learnt a lot especially after combining investigation and security. The challenge is workload as I am the only investigator within the group, to where I conduct so many investigations on reported matters. Precisely I investigate about 12 matters a month and is challenging a lot.

Pros: Nice work environment
Cons: Many matters to investigate

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
