Pros

Good benefits. That’s the only pro

Cons

No work life balance and highly bureaucratic. Filled with people who talk big but don’t do much work. And people from government agencies who can’t find other corporate jobs outside. Obsessed with unproductive meetings where people take the chance to debate for the sake of debating, resulting in a waste of time. Loads of hungry people who want to climb without doing much work. Demanding work culture where you can be asked to produce work beyond working hours even when it’s not at all urgent.

Pros

You learn how to play the political game better.

Cons

Cross-functional collaboration is a key part of working at Temasek and is generally necessary to deliver projects successfully. However, my experience working with Sung Min was challenging. I found that contributions were not always acknowledged appropriately, particularly on high-visibility initiatives. During an AI-related project, I felt that significant portions of my work were not properly credited, while recognition was disproportionately attributed elsewhere. In addition, much of the feedback provided focused on minor details and was often overly pedantic, without adding meaningful value to the final outcome.
