Guys & girls,


Was hoping that some of you that are more experience could shed some light. I consider myself a freshie and I am thinking of making a career move and starting over in Singapore, so generally speaking, is Singapore a good place to start for an engineering graduate? I guess, my main concerns are not on the financial aspects but more towards the career side of things, in particular (for a MNC):

Training & development: In comparison with grads of the same organisation in other parts of the world, do you get the same level or training and exposure?

Working culture: Would love to know how's the working culture like? Mutual respect for one another (even from the top)? Promotion based on merit? Do people value/place importance in quality of work rather than profit only? Are people very willing to pass on their knowledge and help promote growth in one another? Working hours? etc. etc.

Social aspects: Do people go for lunch together? Do people hang out together after work?


While I understand that this is all very subjective, but I suppose there can be some generalisation to an extent. Also, I do apologise as some questions might seem very petty but I sincerely hope that I could get some advice, particularly from those who have had the chance to work in Singapore and in other parts of the globe.



Thanking you in advance,
