Pros
Exposure to complex heavy-lifting projects. Opportunities to work with skilled operators and engineers.
Cons
The salary is significantly below the industry standard and lower than that of other local heavy-lift companies in Indonesia, making it difficult to feel valued for the level of responsibility and expertise required. Office politics and favoritism hinder career growth, with progression often depending on whether your boss likes or dislikes you. Although the position carries the title “Engineer,” in practice much of the work involves drafting in AutoCAD — sketching cranes or SPMT and simply checking their capacities — tasks more suited to a DRAFTER. This reflects a lack of genuine engineering involvement and provides limited opportunities to apply or develop technical expertise. The company often hires fresh graduates or junior staff to cut costs, rather than bringing in experienced professionals, since much of the work is more like easy drafting than real engineering — a classic case of cost-cutting capitalism.
