Engaging simulation work, but communication could be clearer.
Pros: I really enjoyed the technical challenges involved in creating high-fidelity simulation experiences for heavy machinery operators. The work environment in Durban felt collaborative, especially within my direct engineering team. There's a definite sense of pride in the complex systems we build. The industry itself is fascinating and offers unique problems to solve.
Cons: Sometimes, project priorities felt a bit fluid, leading to shifting deadlines without always clear communication. Documentation could also be more robust. While learning is encouraged, formal structured career paths aren't always obvious, which might make long-term growth feel less defined for some.
Advice to Management: Consider implementing more structured professional development plans and clearer communication protocols for project changes. This could really help employees feel more aligned and invested in long-term company goals.
