Denel Reviews

 

Stable Company with good values

My typical day at the office is never the same. Following up on outstanding orders, drafting emails and letters . What I enjoy most about my work is the client interaction, arranging of golf days, working on Denel shows and the organising thereof. The knowledge that I have gained in the marketing and event field is of enormous value. I have a very good and strong relationshp with all my fellow employees and we have known each other for almost 9 years now. We work together as a close group and support one another.

Pros: Stable company with good people and good benefits
Cons: Restructuring

A demotivating environment to work in

A typical work day comprises of uncertainties due to he company liquidation issues and corporate politics. Our internal audit team is small and I relate easily with all of the team members. I have a good relationship with other co-workers from the other departments. I have learnt a lot relating to supply chain audits in the public sector. There isn't a lot I enjoy about the company that I work for due to liquidity issues. The most challenging aspects about the job is being productive amidst the cash flow problems faced by the company.

Pros: Travelling
Cons: No opportunity for growth

Material Planne

First thing in the morning is report preparation for the International product support meeting. The it is releasing of orders to procurement from the MRP system. Doing internal rejections and issue shortages to the line. The relationship with workers is good here and everybody is trying to achieve the same goals. They have given me the opportunity to grow and build up my experience.

Pros: Great international company to work for
Cons: It is coverment owned so the process to get stuff done is very long

Challengin and learning

As I have moved into the Executive assistant for the Group CFO at Denel, being exposed to the financial environment was a big challenge which I grabbed with both hands. A day in the office is always busy. Month end reports, every 3 months it is quarterly reports for different companies. The Denel Head Office is a very vibrant and busy environment to work in as we are the core of the company and exposed to the media on a daily basis. We also have deadlines and late hours due to financial packs and statements that must be distributed in time to be reviewed by the Denel Board etc. I think this is a fantastic exposure and opportunity to grow. We always wanted to stay in the Cape and my husband has received an offer from his company. Obviously the situation must be feasible and practical. Please consider my application as I really need to find a suitable position in the Cape as we will be based there permanently Regards

Pros: Promotion
Cons: Stressfull

Excellent learning curve

Working at denel has been and still is a great opportunity of my career, Going to work daily is encouraging because there I get to do different jobs, self job preparation like set up, tool preparation, machine pre operating inspection. I always look forward to working with my fellow colleagues, they are helpfull encouragus I have a good and healthy partnership. I went to denel with less knowledge of cnc machine because I working with conventional machines , but that changed within a month due to the team I found , I got learn how to step up jobs and tools and operate the machines and the process followed. What I enjoy about my work is that I'm given the spaeto work on my own and my superior trust me in dilivering and the fact that I perform unsupervised. The most challenging part off my job is having to deal with co-workers from other departments, having to instruct them on how to do a job so it won't give problems on final machining. And working with programmers, but in the end we agree.

Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Late communication

Good experience

I really like working here at Denel Overberg Test Range, people are friendly and the team work is good. I am learning each day and I don't regret being part of this company. my knowledge in telecommunication and electronics has improved drastically since I join the company. My only challenge is that is a bit far from facilities such as colleges and universities and as a young vibrant lady I still need to study at least part-time.

Pros: excellent opportunity
Cons: awkward location
