Pros

Trains you to be very meticulous at your work. Good exposure to companies from different industries.

Cons

Pyramid culture. Expect to work until you drop dead. As an intern I once spent 25 hours in the office. Staying past 9, 10pm happens almost everyday. There's no overtime pay for interns and the compensation for the amount of work you have to put in is ridiculous.

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.
