    High pay, high stress
    The good thingsI had one of the best colleagues among all the companies I have worked at. My supervisor was extremely helpful and generous in sharing. My colleagues would lend a hand when the workload becomes overwhelming (workload varies depending on the area you oversaw). It was a close knitted family and I very much enjoy the people.
    The challengesWhile the job pays quite well, the stress that entailed was overwhelming. Being in the frontline work, you are required to manage the public. The public can be demanding and anxious at the same time which made it very difficult to feel calm. It was challenging to find a balance between work and personal life as the workload was consistently high.

    Pleasant working environment with tolerable mix of dynamism and bureaucracy
    The good thingsDynamic and pleasant working environment. There are creative, competent and passionate colleagues, who are mostly pleasant to work with. There is fair work-life balance. Good organisational governance.
    The challengesIt's a stat board under the government - good and bad come with all that. A lot of upward management required, a big challenge to shift mindsets because of legacy and comfortable middle/senior management persons, but it's just human nature.

    Good company culture, depending on your department luck
    The good things-Higher Management is quite idealistic yet adequately pragmatic. -Interpersonal working culture is largely pleasant, less the usual troublemakers -Work is still decently interesting -Location is great, near to several food places -Pay is very competitive
    The challenges-Middle Management is lethargic in implementing changes, as though there are vendettas in their actions

    Above average
    The good thingsForward thinking organisation and encouraging middle management
    The challengesExpectations conflict visions some times. Some departments are very product driven and there's room for improvement if there can be more focus on users' outcomes.
