    Excellent experience in this new environment
    The good thingsStaff welfare was well taken care of. Colleagues were vibrant individuals in a fast moving environment. Positive environment to work in.
    The challengesTravel time was a challenge yet was able to be punctual. Working from home was an asset for cutting down on the travel time. Managing time with home and between travel to and from work was the biggest challenge. Staying in Pioneer MRT (leaving home at 545am) and working in Tampines MRT (reaching home at 11pm).
