Pros

Running project without reading drawing. Drawing is to keep safe in drawer and harden.

Cons

-Leadership could be more supportive, open-minded, and people more oriented. -Management do not prioritise staff workload, lack of consideration. -No flexible work arrangements for junior or mid-level staff -The working environment can feel highly micromanaged and stressful at times. -Workplace politics can be difficult to avoid, and team inclusiveness may vary across departments. -Team dynamics and reporting structure can significantly affect the overall working experience. -Knowledge sharing between team members could be improved, as information is sometimes retained within individuals -There appears to be an imbalance in responsibilities, pushing responsibilities, backstabbing and blame without sufficient focus on solutions. -Senior management personnel are occasionally difficult to reach, resulting in slower decision making and guidance. - Internal procedures can be overly complex, with limited guidance provided for execution. -PM/PD are sometimes giving unclear direction, which may lead to delays and inefficiencies. -Site connectivity and accessibility can be challenging, subcon and family unable to reach you thru phone call, and especially due to limited phone and network signal. No transportation options. -Security protocols may feel overly restrictive for employees. -Capable staff are often given additional CCAs tasks, but contributions may not formally recognised. -Uneven workload distribution and prioritisation could be managed more effectively across teams. -Lack of manpower, while employee appreciation and retention efforts could be strengthened further. -Some long serving staff waiting for retirement on their warm chair, no sense of responsibility. -Career progression opportunities may depends on luck and management support. -M/AVP/PM/PD are not familiar with their role
