Pros

Exposure to everything planning related in Singapore, both nation-wide or community level. Lots of stakeholder engagement and liaison with the other government agencies.

Cons

Sometimes back and forth with other government agencies are slow. Lots of red tape, a kind of "set" way of doing things because that's just how it's been done.

Pros

Friendly colleagues and great location!!

Cons

Hierarchy can sometimes make it difficult to push projects through but that's typical of government jobs.
