1. The latest Technology in place has helped me to learn and grow in my career. 2. The business relationship i have found in work mates is of family kind, so that keeps me going and motivated. 3. working alone on shift managing more than 4 plants has helped me to eliminate fear, grow in my carreer, and mastered how to withstand all pressure built confidence that i can work anywhere globally.

Work satisfaction - Good
Work-life balance - Excellent

Dislikes

1. safety is only on papers and not practical. we wait until something happens that is when measures are being put in place. sense of pro activness is not in place. 2. My imput dont just match with the payments, puting my life down on the production of Golda acid and copper only to get paid less than 600 usd makes me feel un employed.

Dislikes

Retirement age should be looked at. Too many senior management stuffs. Promotion not on merit. Nepotism too much. More stuffs doing office works. No teamwork in most area of work. When someone fails workers are happy, instead of encouraging. Too much backbiting at place of including senior staff. Junior staff are not given chance to contribute on production challenges. Some senior prefer production than safety, hence too conflicts at work. Training deptment should be independent from Engineering, so that it exercises freedom in decisions making. Hunam resources should be autonomous, so that it can give fair judgment, or be a channels between workers and management....Read More

Got Rejected In an Interview, Just Because I Didn’t Answer a Personal Question

So, I got invited for this interview, and they told me to be there at 9 AM. Of course, I get there early, like 8:30, because I don't want to be late. But then I end up waiting for 1.5 hours. Seriously, they didn't even acknowledge me until 10. Then this HR lady calls me in, and she's totally unprofessional. She's like, on her phone, making personal calls while I'm sitting right there. And then she starts asking me these really weird questions, like what my nickname is, and what my dad does for a living. It got really uncomfortable when she started pressing for details about where my dad works. I mean, what does that have to do with anything? So I politely told her I didn't want to answer, and she actually said, "Then we can't continue this interview." I was honestly shocked. But instead of arguing, I just stood up and said, “Alright then.” And walked out. I left feeling pissed. Not only did they waste an hour of my time, but the HR rep was also rude and unprofessional..
