Pros

Within a short amount of time you'd be exposed to the issues and ongoings and projects within KL and this grows your knowledge and appreciation for the city — understanding what it takes to drive growth and the shared appreciation & experiences of KL. 1. A highly passionate and supportive team - you can feel the unified passion for the work 2. Learning & growth opportunities - you'll have a hand in many diverse projects which grows your skills in other areas (e.g. from policy to project delivery to placemaking) 3. Focus on making "felt" impact - Think City is good at trying to make sure that any change are felt by the general public. If they say they believe in a project, they will push to see it through.

Cons

Burnout is real. It demands a lot of your time, attention and constant strategic thinking + team collaboration. A lot of things shift in order to adjust to moving goalposts. This happens in effort to try and make things work (this means team dynamics, strategy, structure etc.)

Pros

Involved with pilot projects and lots of community management. Never a dull moment with projects that has social impact outcome. There is some work flexibility. Work other passionate partners. Good medical benefit coverage which includes oral & mental health.

Cons

Ambigious work direction with constant goal post shift. At times, work requires long hours grinding with no bonus. Flight or fight with sr management culture. You may need to loose your personal interest as work may consume your personal life.
