Vantaggi

- Good stepping stone to go other ministries/public sector - Organization name is highly recognised and staffs are highly sought after - Pay is reasonable for fresh grad but there are other ministries who can pay better AFTER you get the PRM skillsets here. - Benefits and Compensation is fairly good. - Learning new things every day (nobody ain't got time to teach you) - Handling high profile defence project (the feeling of exclusivity but you cant share this with anyone) - Feeling of Patriotism and serving the nation (although you can also get this in other civil/public service) - Water-Tight Regulations (Things move slower and you will learn different perspectives) - Learn to be very detail oriented - Opportunities to negotiate and meet many Foreign Companies

Svantaggi

- Snr Mgmt is always constantly pushing to do more with less (200 over PRM staff supporting the whole SAF purchases). - Modernised production line (expect to keep churning work non-stop) - State of the art PRM system - Gate and goal keeper (when the goal gets in, the goal keeper gets most of the blame). - Engineers and Users have very specific scope but PRM is expect to pick up / know everything that they don't know (Commonly heard phrase such as... Can PRM advise ? Why PRM didnt check this ? I never do before, can PRM check/do ? ). - Blame culture. - Good and responsible engineers and users are rare find and exceptional cases.

Vantaggi

nothing much la, except you can slack/cruise all u want and won’t get sacked. Take 2 hour lunch

Svantaggi

- very poor salary growth and starting salary - lots of ridiculous red tapes and politics; everything is about security. - lack of internet access is a big pain especially for those developers when most tools nowadays are on the net - typical to own 3 or 4 machines to access different network - go open gov or govtech better; and even better to go google or meta for branding / higher pay - u will regret coming here - most scholars leave after bond or break bond halfway, cannot take it - work for peanuts salary - engineers are expected to wear multiple hats, designer, salesman, politician, project manager, vendor manager, welfare organizer etc. - most good opportunities are reserved for scholars who themselves want to leave for greener pastures - army like culture, even army users treat u like second class citizens / servants
