    Very good learning platform but extreme commitment needed
    The good things- Learning opportunity. - Niche market (railway industry. Therefore it is wanted worldwide) - Good salary - Flexible working hour. Flexibility here means working until wee hours. - Expose to international standard. - Most of the colleagues are professional. If there are here means they are professional. - Good benefit.
    The challenges- Complicated design and needs a lot of commitment. - Challenges here mean learning opportunity

    Project Management (JImah Power project)
    The good thingsALSTOM Power was managed the project very well, site staff are very friendly. For me, it was a good experience especially learning about power plant construction process, project management, safety procedures for high risk project etc.
    The challengesWith the support staff around the world, the culture job also different each country or others. Working with Japanese team, we need to act faster or the called 'kaizen'. The most important things when working at site project is time frame that need to be achieved on time. But sometimes, it has a bit delay and we will be in trouble surely.
