Pros

Excellent workplace for fresh graduates to kick start your career. Able to learn very relevant skills and knowledge if you want to pursue a career in the built environment. Your job experience/knowledge will be deemed highly by future employers.

Cons

Very stressful environment where you have to compete with high-caliber colleagues who are usually scholars. No work-life balance as you always have to meet the deadlines. This means working on weekend to get back on track for the things you have neglected during the weekdays.

Pros

Exposure to everything planning related in Singapore, both nation-wide or community level. Lots of stakeholder engagement and liaison with the other government agencies.

Cons

Sometimes back and forth with other government agencies are slow. Lots of red tape, a kind of "set" way of doing things because that's just how it's been done.

Friendly colleagues and great location!!

Cons

Hierarchy can sometimes make it difficult to push projects through but that's typical of government jobs.
