Assistant Editor and organiser.
Assistand Editor (Former Employee) - Kimberley, NC - 25 March 2014
I've enjoyed my stay with De Beers and the exposure that I got through my employment with them cannot be valued at all.
The opportunities that I had in dealing with various school projects, providing relevant information to the public regarding the mining industry in general as well as specialised diamond mining was a huge but satisfying learning curve.
Pros
Lots of exposures.
Cons
Ungrateful members of management - even though only a few of them.

An active and busy environment
Engineering Operative (Former Employee) - Kimberley, Northern Cape - 13 February 2013
A typical day at work for me is normally a long day in terms of productivity and energy required for productivity, both physical and mentally. I learned a lot of things like being able to work as a team member, being able to ensure that a duty is being carried out successfully and I also learned about safety at the workplace. The management at De Beers is up to standard, they perform their leadership duties very well. The most challenging part of the job for me was finding my way around the plant in terms of spotting the different damaged camera destinations. The most enjoyable part was to apply my electronics theoretical knowledge and get the job done successfully.
