Pros

Overall, URA presents itself as an apt organization for a starting career. I was surrounded by good and competent colleagues, and a wonderful working environment. There are various opportunities for career growth. The agency's central location is convenient, with good food places around the area.

Cons

Depending on the department, workloads may be overwhelming over time. Stress and high work pressures are quite common - be prepared to work really hard. For most, work/life balance is compromised over time.

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.

Friendly colleagues and great location!!

Cons

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