Pros

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

Cons

- 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
