A weak company with little substance and a government-like culture

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nil. It is a good place for employees with few skill sets and see the government service as a career

Cons

Culture is not good for people coming with real world experience. There is herd mentality, a civil service culture where employees spend more time on useless paperwork that nobody reads. Group emails are a way for everyone to chime in. No real work gets done. There is too much corporate waste.
