I'm working as R&D Supervisor. My work is to do trial of new machine / process and also some side jobs.
Pros
Cocoa is one the most valuable commodities in Indonesia. Therefore, the cocoa business is really promising. Meanwhile, Cacao processing in Indonesia is still rare, so there are only a few competitors. And this company is recognized as one of Nestle's Partnership.
Cons
I don't have any difficulties at work or job desk, but there are some challenging things here and most of them are managements, Managing people and time. Example: If I want to take samples for my R&D archive, I should ask operator, because production is always running even at midnight. I usually give them some label format to recognize my own sample. So, the sample will not lost and can be tracked. Meanwhile, Managing time is difficult while you haven't done your current work, and you suddenly, have a new work to do. Usually, I ask the manager what is the most urgent, and see the time what can I do first. Example: there are 3 works that has been assigned at the same time range. Daily GMP verification, production trial, and check the different between 2 process. Production trial starts at 3:00 PM, and the most urgent. Mean while, I can handle the 2 jobs before doing the trial. Well, I have to work overtime if the trial starts at 3:00 PM, but I have no choice.
