it is pointless to go thru assessment test,2-3 round interview, in the end they give you a lousy offer of the job you apply, in the end you rejected the offer...waste my time and the interviewer time...... |

There is no HR department in HDB, their HR is just a renamed Administration & Manpower department. The department is >90% admin ladies who are there to pass time. |

LOL. Pace is pretty quick when compared to CPF?
Dead water department filled with people with no career aspiration at all. Recently someone high up tried to push for modernization and many old birds not happy, but then honestly when the whole department consist of family ladies who are content to take it easy until retirement, what can anyone do? It’s not like they can fire them… You give them low ratings, increments & bonus they also bochap. Even if they succeed to transform the department, at most it will still be on par as stat board, definitely in terms of pace, creativity and dynamic is still far cry from private companies. Quote:

Isn't there any new blood in the form of new graduates in the department? How is the turnover rate like? |
be prepared for Singaporean's complaints. Some of them are really spolit to the core and may scold you.
if u cannot handle this, don't join. My fren at HDB gets alot of unreasonable requests from Singaporeans. |

What about the HR side? Heard of any beautiful or horror stories? |
Quote:
It’s pretty standard stuff they handle, just think of it as an administrator job, the usual things like looking after employment contracts, tending to queries, organizing welfare events, conduct interview etc. Like I mention earlier, it’s not really HR, more like admin department. Quote:

2nd lower NTU mechanical eng.. 4-5 years eng exp in GLC. why join civil service: -support NS activity, ICT/IPPT/RT -no FT -work life balance -pro- family -will always have wage adjustment every 3-5 years -annual salary about 16 mths on average -annual increment/promotion is double of what my company is giving now.. -very stable |
that's because ST engineering sucks isn't it. Why stay in that **** hole?
You can try out privately owned MNCs in your sector |
On a different note, any idea if HDB is/have implemented any wage adjustment this year?

Accountant in HDB
Quote:
Hi, Thanks for the insight =) May I know if you might have any idea on the prospect of an accountant in HDB or the working culture in the Accounting / Finance dept? Kind regards |
HR department works very long hours, usually till 9pm is the norm. Peak period can mean just two hours of sleep and working 7/24. No time off, no OT pay because the boss said this is part of work. Expect phone calls from office between 7.30pm to 9pm on a daily basis and boss like to ask "can you amend now", "you not in office then is your notebook with you?" Too busy for your family, too bad. You end up wondering why you are there and if possible will end up leaving. Phone calls and text messages from boss on weekends and PH is very common.

the website says so much about work-life balance and family-oriented environment so very surprised by your story. how about IT department.. is it equally bad? |

Their IT department also pretty bad. On call at times and some work on shifts and they have a large pool of contract programmers from other Asian countries. |

HDB to private sector
If one can move from HDB to the private sector, what would be suitable companies to look at?
|
hope that someone (hopefully from HDB) can answer my queries.
would like to know the working culture of estate manager (customer relations). is it fast paced/slow paced? friendly colls and bosses? stuff like that. and also, the starting salary and the progression. thanks in advance for any help! :D |
Quote:
Progression is good, standard promotion when the time is ripe and good work performance. Colleagues and bosses for mine are good, yours probably too. |
