    Great and fulfilling experience, career-wise
    The good thingsThe company is very willing to train their employees--from fresh graduates to those with experience but from other fields. It offers a lot of opportunities for career development as it is willing to expose their employees to different aspects of a developing mine company. Maintains a very inclusive environment where employees feel appreciated for their unique characteristics.
    The challengesMore established management, HR, and Finance guidelines/rules/regulations. Other than that, nothing else.
