Excellent learning curve

I work more than 8 hours everyday. Doing laboratory work, experiments, Sample analysis, and many more. I work very well with my colleagues, I enjoy working in teams and also independently. The most challenging part is not having enough facility for the characterization of work done in the lab. I mostly enjoy the team spirit always portrayed! the support from supervisors and colleagues and the work ethic.

Pros: Learning curve
Cons: No growth

Complicated environment

Mintek has a homely environment but very terrible organization culture. To much uncertainty with career progression and advancement. No benefits at all, poor bonus incentive system

Cons: No incentive

Hiding under scrutiny radar

Some of the key leadership positions are occupied by incompetent and morally and ethically compromised individuals. The HR and Finance departments are dysfunctional as policies get bypassed to suit wishes of certain individuals. Recruitment and Promotions are for friends and family members of certain inflential executives. Some core departments are led by an incompetent racist bully who does as he pleases and appears to be untouchable. Mintek is just one of many examples of failing SOEs led by black executives.

Pros: Great technical skills learning opportunity
Cons: Unethical leadership
