Pros
- Good stepping stone to go other ministries/public sector - Organization name is highly recognised and staffs are highly sought after - Pay is reasonable for fresh grad but there are other ministries who can pay better AFTER you get the PRM skillsets here. - Benefits and Compensation is fairly good. - Learning new things every day (nobody ain't got time to teach you) - Handling high profile defence project (the feeling of exclusivity but you cant share this with anyone) - Feeling of Patriotism and serving the nation (although you can also get this in other civil/public service) - Water-Tight Regulations (Things move slower and you will learn different perspectives) - Learn to be very detail oriented - Opportunities to negotiate and meet many Foreign Companies
Cons
- Snr Mgmt is always constantly pushing to do more with less (200 over PRM staff supporting the whole SAF purchases). - Modernised production line (expect to keep churning work non-stop) - State of the art PRM system - Gate and goal keeper (when the goal gets in, the goal keeper gets most of the blame). - Engineers and Users have very specific scope but PRM is expect to pick up / know everything that they don't know (Commonly heard phrase such as... Can PRM advise ? Why PRM didnt check this ? I never do before, can PRM check/do ? ). - Blame culture. - Good and responsible engineers and users are rare find and exceptional cases.
