Its more like a learning institution
working at Mintek is more like a learning road to be more responsible in your duties, workload in terms of being a leader and a team player at the same time. working with diverse people, cultures and traditions is the most beautiful aspect of the company that I'm working for I enjoy (and travelling). as individuals we have personal preferences in the work space, in terms of who to be friends with and so forth, but what I like about my co-workers is that we work hard and mean business to create a healthy environment for ourselves. the most challenging aspect is looking for funds for our beneficiaries, working onsite without seeing your family for about a month or so, incubating our beneficiaries especially those that stays in rural areas far from us and also when it come to manufacturing products in big quantities.
Pros: opportunity to go back to school
Cons: bonuses are conditional
