HR also asked very personal questions to me

Very arrogant workplace, very selfish and elitist people, not pro-family.

AVOID. Plenty of other opportunities that pay well and treat employees like Human. Don’t fall for a sexy-sounding job and be treated like crap

Is this for China division? I had a very similar experience last year.

I agree. Top management (especially ministers) are often EDB/MAS alumni and see these two agencies as being on top of the pyramid, surpassing even ministries. When they speak, it's often "EDB and MAS should look into this further..." and hardly mention other agencies. Within the Firefly (MTI) stat boards, EDB has been the "big brother" - not surprising since its establishment pre-dates MTI itself.

Perhaps because of this mentality, MAS/EDB are very powerful and their respective parent ministries have only very nominal control over them.

Furthermore, any M&A is bound to create friction, be it "cultural" clash/"territorial" conflict etc, and ESG is not immune to it. Turnover has been high since the merger, with the new chief executive (himself an EDB alumni) "running a tight ship". The HR issue is quite acute, and it's not gone unnoticed by people up there.

They really need warm bodies right now, but I suggest those considering ESG to wait till things settle down first, before we have a clearer picture of how it's like compared to EDB.

Is there an overlap in roles between ESG and EDB?

Generally speaking in layman terms, ESG deals with SMEs while EDB deals with MNCs
