    Eye opening exercise
    The good things- work life balance - staff are approachable and helpful - willingness to teach
    The challenges- systems are rather obsolete - no canteen (canteen was shut down due to covid-19) - if you are not living in the east it would be quite inconvenient

    Good working environment
    The good thingsSystematic organisation. Individual job scope and unit’s work plan are aligned to organisation values, mission and vision. Ample career progression and job rotation opportunities as a uniformed staff. Staff welfare is excellent.
    The challengesShift work for certain postings. The industry is very niche so the individual has to make plans for life after retirement at 55 years old.
