Pros
The company was a great place to start, the people is very supportive and welcoming.
Being new with some extra experience in this kind of suppliers is great.
You can learn a lot of many different areas, and you can expand and grow as you please.
Cons
The are some points here, if you decide to join:
- Generally speaking, nobody is caring about your career development. Hence, plan it yourself.
- Nobody would care about your workload, look to own stuff to do. Be smart and get involved, and do a lot of networking.
- Plan your work, nobody would care about your extra time (or even if you work less time) as long you get the work done. Try to meet the expectations, without putting yourself on the line.
- Be careful about expressing your opinions out loud or to whom you share those opinions, the best thing you can do is express neutrality and have always a good face to management.
- Be prepared for difficult times, always have a plan b. In difficult times remember that as management have said before: "the door is big" and "everybody is replaceable", Those statements are true, and although you may like the people and the projects, you are just another profile that could/would easily replaceable for a better price engineer oversees or for another young professional.
