Honest comments:

1. The tasks are very varied, from meeting and cultivating relationships to counting parts and sorting them. Few people are good at (or enjoy) all those tasks.
2. While there is some infrastructure and tooling in place, there is a lot more to be done than what we already have in place.
3. If you think you don’t hit all the check marks - don’t worry, we want a person that is able to learn and has a great attitude to make it work. So just give it a go, we will reply to all applications.
