    It is like being thrown into a jungle. You choose your way to survive. RARELY people help you. You are friends with other departments? Good, but that will change quickly during issues and meetings. There's no room to express creativity at all.
    The good thingsLearn everything the hard way. Very steep growth if you are resilient.
    The challengesEquipment/sustaining team is the FIRST to be blamed for anything that happened. I once spent whole day to investigate a case where I need to be full detective mode, see CCTV footage and everything. Back in my days here, there were 3-4 meetings daily. OFTEN times you are needed on weekends. My chinese manager (now ex-manager) joined a meeting during CHINESE NEW YEAR. The technician here has history of heart attack and exploding foot vein due to needing to stand for so long to solve critical issues. If you are under a super aggressive senior manager/director, you will have a very hard time here. Unless you have plenty experience in the area, maybe you will survive. Absolutely NO CHANCE for Equipment Maintenance/Sustaining engineers to join all those fun company activities and competitions. You will never have the time. If you are really keen on improving MTBA, reduce downtime and blablabla, you wont even feel like having lunch, because there is no time to do that.
