Challenging but Rewarding Learning Experience

I will describe my days as never a down moment… It is a great experience to go to work daily knowing that your day might never be the same as yesterday in terms of the challenges that are awaiting you as well as in terms of the learnings that you need to grabs from working in a multicultural and multinational company dealing with various countries and regions. It is rewarding to pass down these learnings to a team of 5 to 7 people in a steady way and very exciting to see them grow and see the company reaching its targets or analysing and explaining the reasons for not meeting these targets and focusing at the scenarios that would assist in ensuring that remediation actions are taken towards recovery.

Pros: Exciting Working Environment - Challenged to Reach to More
Cons: Projects Implementations Rotation Levels too High
