    Singapore General Hospital Central RegionLess than 1 year in the role, current employee
    Avoid this company at all costs!
    The good thingsCentral Location, friendly coworkers, forthnightly prayer sessions at HQ (good for Christians) as it is a faith-based organisation.
    The challenges- High turnover. Same job advertisements keep reposting. There is a reason why there is such high turnover. - Unprofessional behaviour by bosses and manipulative coworkers - No recognition for hardwork - Toxic work environment - Promoting people who are not deserving and overlook other staff who worked equally hard - Favourtism culture

    Double-Standard Treatment and Bad Management
    The good thingsConvenient working location and friendly colleagues from other divisions.
    The challengesWas not being added to the dept whatsapp group chat for 10 months though there were two former staffs who were straightaway added during their first week of employment. The organisation continues to retain an existing staff who often makes mistakes and this shows a very poor hiring practices. If you were not their favourite, they will forever outcast you and focus on their favourites.

    A great learning opportunity that taught me lots of new things.
    The good thingsEmployee welfare was good, and supervisors usually are very kind and understanding towards other members of staff. HQ staff are very supportive towards those working in the centres as well.
    The challengesLow manpower and high workload can cause a lot of stress in staff, but overall, staff tend to work well together to overcome challenges as a team.

    Wonderful Colleagues
    The good thingsDefinitely enjoyed the friendships made with most colleagues. Most managers I worked with are very caring and friendly as well. Current CEO is a very down to earth and very loving person as well, who is very current too. Location is also super convenient! And I personally greatly appreciated and greatly benefited from the time set aside for devotions etc since this is a faith based organization.
    The challengesHard to increase in pay and not much job progression. Easier if you don't mind hopping between different departments since this is one of the largest NGOs in Singapore and there are various departments or projects you can try if you are interested and keen.
