Project and Testing Resource (Former Employee) – Sandton City – 23 May 2019
A typical day at Sasol begins with a SCRUM meeting at 9.00 AM.
After the SCRUM everybody reverts to their personal calendar as per the unique tasks they have to achieve on the day.
The use of virtual desktops, digital signatures and insistence that every IT person must be technically proficient with Office Productivity was a high standard I came across.
The staff are very adventurous because research and innovation is encouraged . I particularly enjoyed this aspect of the working environment. The hard part was getting acquainted to and applying their safety rules because they were unusually strict.

snr electro-mechanic (Former Employee) – Secunda, Mpumalanga – 2 May 2019
Not a single day is the same in a underground mine.
There is always danger everywhere, but with the environment comes rules and regulations to keep one safe.
The Engineer and foreman always tried to keep a balance between the mining and engineering teams so that we could work better together to achieve our goals as a section
It is not always easy to fix up break downs due to the environment we were working in. water, mud, confined spaces, darkness, ect
The best part was after fixing up a breakdown, the mining department was motivated to produce coal.

Pros

Disciplined
Project Manager (Former Employee) – Sandton, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa – 29 March 2019
This organisation is very disciplined and strict as far as following procedure is concerned. Management are accessible and open for discussions and opinions. Unfortunately, the workplace culture is not very inviting when trying to gather information. Other employees feel threatened. Hardest part of the job was trying to get information from othetr functional areas to complete tasks. Employees feel insecure about sharing information. Most enjoyable part was the team I worked with. Being a temporary consultant for a short time did not allow me enough time to build a rapport with more people in the organisation.
Pros
Flex time
Cons
Being treated as an outsider.
Good company to work for long term.
