    Not as good as what you expect.
    The good thingsWorkload is okay, you will develop your critical thinking skills and detailing skills. Bad part is you will only do CAD details even if you are a registered Architect/Interior Designer. You will not experience doing 3D bec. they have their own 3D team.
    The challengesThe low salary, the admin, and even the seniors. (Heads)

    You will learn many things on the profession, but burn out is inevitable and the office and facilities are sub-standard.
    The good thingsI really learned so many things regarding the architectural and construction industry. It was also really good that there are product demos usually every Friday from potential suppliers. This in turn lets the employees of the company learn so much. The activities like badminton every Fridays are also a good way for the employees to enjoy and relieve stress after a stressful week of work.
    The challengesThe company prescribes a uniform but gives the burden to its newly-hired employees to find and buy it. Information dissemination is poor. There are times that the management fail to fully inform employees of all essential details of a certain task/event. The administration is, at most times, unorganized. During my stay there, I only had one payday that was given on time, the rest were overlooked and I had to speak to the administration to inform them that I haven’t received any pay. There are lacking staff positions to fully and competitively support the company’s activities, i.e. a lack of an IT department or even just an IT staff for all computer related issues. When I was there, I felt like the company is underinvesting on its equipment and facilities, with outdated computers and computer software. This impacts productivity of its employees and further contributes to overwork. The office is also unsanitary during my stay there. A pest outbreak happened when I was there, yet the management is slow to action and did not hire professional pest control to handle the situation.
