A day at the office

R&D Metrology intern (Former Employee) - Pretoria, GP - 23 June 2014

My work involved research mainly which means I spent most of my time with my computer. I learned to work independently, only to report every quarter the work I have done. Management was supporting of my job, and I had expert at my disposal. Hardest part of the job, was the thought that I may not return after my contract has expired because I wanted to further my studies. I enjoyed, quarterly presentations and the laboratory work, where I had to calibrate various instruments and compile certificates.

Pros

Free coffee, and access to to managers

Cons

Not enough work
