Pros

Decent pay but pretty low to what I am earning currently. Good springboard for those who want to gain work experience before joining the private sector. Sweetest decision to leave this organisation and settled down elsewhere where I can connect with people of similar vibe.

Cons

Some experiences: 1. Told off by some quirky senior guy on my non-compliance of dress code policy (where i did). 2. Encountered another self-entitled whom I don’t work with made comments like “I am disruptive to his work” when I am using a shared terminal. Company wants staff to innovate, but the work environment seems to be innovation adverse. No wonder company always few steps behind other countries.

Pros

nothing much la, except you can slack/cruise all u want and won’t get sacked. Take 2 hour lunch

Cons

- very poor salary growth and starting salary - lots of ridiculous red tapes and politics; everything is about security. - lack of internet access is a big pain especially for those developers when most tools nowadays are on the net - typical to own 3 or 4 machines to access different network - go open gov or govtech better; and even better to go google or meta for branding / higher pay - u will regret coming here - most scholars leave after bond or break bond halfway, cannot take it - work for peanuts salary - engineers are expected to wear multiple hats, designer, salesman, politician, project manager, vendor manager, welfare organizer etc. - most good opportunities are reserved for scholars who themselves want to leave for greener pastures - army like culture, even army users treat u like second class citizens / servants
