SI Group Reviews

 

Excellent learning curve. Great knowledge gained.

A typical work day at SI Group is always joyous and full of laughter. There isn't a lot for one to do at the beginning but when the rush comes, it is really great. The work environment is really something for a person to look forward to in the morning and it can be quite fast paced at times. We are like a family here and we get along very well. I have learnt a lit about customers and how to communicate with them. I enjoy doing the menial tasks that everybody else doesn't really want to do because I am detail oriented and pride myself on perfection. The most challenging part of the job is dealing with people of different backgrounds and emotional intelligence.

Pros: Great opportunity to learn various things about the transport, recruitment and manufacturing industries.
Cons: The salary isn't that great, especially for the amount of work that most people put in and the benefits are not so "awesome".

NEW OPPORTUNITY

I got in being an assistant to my manager, I've been promoted to being a Key Accounts Executive Manager in my second month. The salary stayed the same. I don't get a bonus. The responsibilities have grown. I'm just learning as much as I can. I will get to work in the morning, and when I open my emails there's at least 10 to 20 emails that need to be read. Every day, I must open tender websites and make sure that there's no new tenders. And if there is a tender, then it is my duty to gather the needed information and ensure that the tender is submitted in time. The difficult part of the job is that I can't get the orders together myself. I have to pass down the information, and wait for the order to be ready. Sometimes, it takes longer than the given time, and (the part I hate the most), I have to tell the client that they have to wait longer for their order.

Pros: Great place to start and gain experience
Cons: No opportunity for growth.

Work / Life Balance

Get up with a song in your heart every morning, just to be confronted with clashing personalities at the office. Dealing with clients, their orders and their issues is a pleasure and satisfying even, but internal politics make it difficult. From not being confident to sell a product I don't know at all to success in cold calling and generating my own leads. Knowing a product well and being proud of the product your company manufactures, shows in your sales.

Pros: Small, flat organisational structure, decision-making is easy accesible
Cons: Family-owned

Great experience opportunity.

Great learning curve and platform for experience. Typically, the processing and punching of timesheets would constitute a basic day. Loading new employees on the payroll system, and following up on documentation required also co statutes a typical work. Relaxed environment with a family structure.

Pros: Potential is recognised and given opportunity.
Cons: Not enough remuneration for hard work that is put in.
