I have learned to be an emphatic person towards the low income families. Also given chance to attend to residents from all walks of life and provide them the services with care, attentive and understanding.
Ok nothing special. After national service 8 needed a job so i applied for hdb. Worked a works supervisor. Later changed to housing and maintenance inspector.
-fast paced environment
-requires teamwork
-handling difficult customers
-lifelong learning journey
-understanding different customer's behaviours and body language
-almost everything is now via E-services
Fast pace and challenging. Much contact with the public and many rules
and regulations.But the colleagues are great and much camaderie. Management expects you to take on the challenge and you need to have a lot initiatives to tackle the jobs given to you. Definitely I met a lot of people in my course of my work in the number of thousands.
Hardest Part was to adjust to the old-style micromanagement kind of work culture.
Contract workers take up responsibilities of application development here.
Pros
Fixed office timings for contract employees.
A great place to work at with very good work life balance. As long as you produce results, your management will not micro manage your work. Good working culture with fun colleagues.
Pros
Great working hours
Cons
Stagnant
Should have at least a basic salary with the incentive scheme for field interviewers as we spend a fair amount on transportation, phone data somethings during odd hours in the mornings and evenings to keep appointments.
Pros
Lots of free time
Cons
Low salary
- 8am to 6pm is the work time
- punctuality
- management is not that much friendly
- boring
- not enjoyable atmosphere
- work pressure depends on the project
Pros
monthly tea session
Cons
no official break other than lunch
Hdb is good place to work in with good bosses and a work life balance environment. The most enjoyable part of my job is to be able to contribute in improving the processes for the team as well as participate in sports that encourage me to be fit.
Pros
Work life balance
Cons
Nil
Handle customers' housing applications and appeals. I would need to adhere to protocols set out within the company and exercise judgement in handling different cases.
The working environment is awesome. No work pressure. Standard work time. Good package. Innovative, Interesting projects and most advanced technologies.
No job prospect. Doesn't like the section culture. I want to boost better job prospects. Job work/ balance - nil. Wish for a change of work environment.
Pros
No job advancement
Cons
Difficult to apply for leave
Excellent company in Singapore which provides the public housing in Singapore .Excellent work life balance .But career advancement is slow for foreigners
Assigned daily basic work,seeking assistance from supervisor,colleague for further update.The hardest part for the job was,Escalation the ticket if the customer did not give us cust name
Although the pay is extremely low but the job is stress-free. Colleagues were very helpful, fun and supportive. Management often organized fun teambuilding activities.
Cons
low salary
A typical day would consist of checking and replying to emails, supporting users on technical areas, administrative duties, meetings with colleagues or users,
Learnt how to work and communicate with others in a corporate environment, taking into account the needs of the users
co-workers are friendly and helpful usually, its like a family oriented environment
There are usually a lot of "obstacles" to getting things done like unnecessary paperwork and procedures.
most enjoyable part of the job is to develop things that are useful for the public
Pros
helpful colleagues
Cons
many layers of middle management
Frequent job rotation among management level resulting in lapse in proper handover of portfolio. Time spent to brief new managers on section roles and structure. However, it has provided an open discussion and recap on rationale of past policies change.

Deviation in policies
