Even more so if you're in the most high-profile desks, where working weekday nights and weekends almost every week is the norm. Turnover rates across MTI are very high as well.

Overall, it's a good place if you want a challenging and fulfilling career. MTI officers are well-respected across the WOG, and landing a job in other agencies thereafter should be pretty easy. But if you have family commitments or just want to cruise through life, then it probably isn't the place for you.
horkay thks for the insights!

Unregistered Bumping this thread.

What's the current rate for fresh grads and expected increment & bonus for avg performers? Is the culture still very scholar centric and hard to get promoted for non-scholars?

Unregistered MTI is generally a fast-paced Ministry. I would think you'd need to be an efficient officer for the procurement role and of course, any prior experience in procurement in the public service will be beneficial. Whether or not there's work-life balance, it depends. If you're efficient and effective, you wouldn't need to always do OT or bring your work home over the weekends. If you're looking for a relaxed and lepak workplace, MTI is not the place for you. It's a place where you can learn a lot if you are hardworking enough.
