    My few months experience in this job
    The good thingsA good place for entry level to pick up useful skills in your career. Decent office environment. Salary is good and AWS is monthly pro-rated.
    The challengesWorkload can be heavy and often being push to you, tight deadline to follow. Colleague take too much pride in their work and set high standard on you. Double standard, colleague are noisy and sometimes nag at you unnecessarily.

    Bad management and internal culture of department
    The good thingsBenefits and bonus is good
    The challengesInternal culture is very toxic, micromanagement from the director and deputy director. Constantly making insensitive comments and is very authorative. Rely alot of manual excel work and mistakes will be pinpointed. Bosses are not forgiving and understanding. Doesnt recognise your efforts. Lots of red tapes and bureaucracy. Recommended only if you enjoy being under control and can be detailed without making errors One of the challenges I find working with the team here is that

    Good staff welfare
    The good thingsI happen to work with understanding bosses who care for their staff and try to make work-life balance possible. Very thankful for them. The work in the finance department is challenging and rewarding. We try not to play politics (depending on your department). The colleagues here are generally nice.
    The challengesThe work is fast-paced in finance, and there are many complex issues right now in the primary healthcare sector. You may not get the support you need from the higher ups or the ministry, or it takes a long time and a lot of effort to get there.

    Good learning experience but heavy workload with minimal support
    The good thingsBenefits are good, no doubt about that. Pay is also above industry average when I first joined. Company also encourages and supports continuous learning by encouraging staff to attend courses and go for higher learning. Level of support depends on the department you are working for, with more supportive ground staff in the polyclinics, compared to HQ, where some tend to form groups.
    The challengesWorkload is extremely heavy, especially the department I worked for where work was thrown to us without supervisor's first checking our bandwidth. There also seems to be a habit of sending and replying emails and messages after office hours which is a very unhealthy culture. Career development also seems to be quite stagnant, with not much opportunities for promotion.

    The good thingsDepends on the working colleagues you are working with. Team leaders usually ok, some are biased, if u don't know how to carry them, good luck.
    The challengesGood or bad, friendly or unfriendly patients, u also need to attend. Especially public healthcare, public tends to demand for more.!!! Patience is one of the word.
