The people there are quite nice, but definitely not the smart type who really know a lot about their profession or can front big business stakeholders. So if you want some stability with pleasant colleagues then its a good place, but if you want to build up professional network or get promotions or career development, that's not the place to be.

Colleagues who have left always try to get themselves into a good well known MNC only to not even make it to 1st round and end up in some other GLC or public sector, so if your intention is to be some HRBP in a big MNC like google or oracle then this place is a no no.

But for HR if you need to deal extensively with doctors and head nurses, must be prepared for some rude and unreasonable demands from them. They can be a bit marvericky or quirky and tend to blast you on the spot if they are not happy. For me I dont really care as my boss is influential and I know they cant do anything to me.
Thank you for your very astute observations. No I don't think having worked there will boost the chances of joining big MNCs. Just worried that there's no personal development nor much of a career progression. Seems pretty much like a good stable environment if you're contented with where you currently are.

How's the grade system like? For example in public sector, we start off at MX13. What about there? What's the usual grade for M/SM?
