Challenging, strenuous but great experience
Long travelling distance but it's great experience because you get to meet, work and interact with different types of people in different industries. Due to the nature of my work, I am always on the road alone and days or months can pass without seeing my co-workers or manager. From my experience I have learnt to manage myself, manage others and to manage to do my job with no one micromanaging me and with all of that, I have delivered more than what was expected from me. The job also taught me how to work with clients, manage resources, flexible and to adapt in different environments. The most challenging aspects of the job is dealing with clients which are reluctant to change, travelling 150-250 km average daily (locally) and 300-500 km (long trips), lack of support from top management and lack of benefits.
Pros: Great exposure to different industries, people and environment
Cons: Too much travelling (4500-6000 km average/month)

Time management
I got a great opportunity to put my education into practice, and be responsible for the quality of the products we testing for our clients. In the Lab we are about 15 and we are all responsible for quality and the Turn Around Time must be met to keep our clients happy. We all depending on each other to meet the turn around time, and so there is little room for error.
Pros: critical thinking
Cons: slow growth
