Intern - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Ngee Ann Polytechnic

Stable job, iron rice bowl.

Want to be innovative but put blockers in your way Prices at canteen expensive and a few have empty stalls Terrain not flat, seriously very unfriendly to people who are not able-bodied. Interdepartmental projects are slow moving because one side thinks the other side will do all the things, while the other side put up guardrails up front . Too late to the OKR game Many senior staff around, who had the luxury of owning a flat and condo so they can afford to relax and collect rental

Left because the IS culture was toxic and demoralising. Promotions and recognition didn’t always go to the people who work. It also felt like those who knew how to say the right things, and build the right relationships with leadership got ahead. Visibility and being close to the leader mattered more than doing work. ARPA and timetable management lacked empathy and accountability. Nobody really wanted to take ownership, very unhealthy culture of gossip and wayang. When certain IS individuals were reassigned to special projects at the Ivory Tower from April 2026, showed that relationships matter more than actual work. Whole culture was very discouraging, very wayang.
