Stable job but not much work life balance.
Customer Relations Manager (Former Employee) - HDB Hub, Toa Payoh - October 19, 2019
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.

Overall pleasant environment
Executive Systems Analyst (Current Employee) - Toa Payoh - October 24, 2016
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
