Pros

Staff are generally responsible and friendly. Career path & salary is stable if you joined as an Executive Trainee - indeed the pay is quite nice given not much intelligence is required for working in this Council. Good work-life balance most of the time.

Cons

Very government-like, bosses are annoying and make you question the meaning of your work: you spend 50% of the time on reports / creative accounting and entertaining management's random requests/ questions, rather than working on the project itself. Not much skills learned other than event management which is nothing professional. Manpower is apparently in shortage, doesn't seem to be fixable in the short term

Pros

Good teamwork and helpful colleagues. Overall speaking a very resourceful organisation (though it doesn't know how to leverage/treasure). Stable & good pay scale and benefits relative to the level of difficulty of work.

Cons

Heavy paperwork and reporting. Lack of integrity among HR staff. Bureaucratic culture. Complacency at all levels and slow (almost resist) to changes: organisational strategy, staff (top to bottom), way of work
