    Great Experiences working there
    The good thingsGood collegiality and positive cycle of people. Most of the seniors or supervisors are generous with their knowledge, there is a good learning place for freshmen and the management team is willing to support or provide financial aid for those good performing employees on their professional development. The working culture here is professional with no workplace politics, all departments are quite supportive . Most of the students respect their lecturers and have a good learning attitude. Work-life balance working environment, there are a lot of holidays compared to the non-academic private sector.
    The challengesDue to the structure of the institution being small-to-medium size , there was a lack of career growth opportunities, (nevertheless, for the new staff it is still easy to get salary raise by year until a certain range), the benefit of employees is just basic coverage.

    You would be able to work here peacefully
    The good thingsNo politics, no challenging.
    The challengesMost of the staffs here worked at here for many years, so it's been a culture that most of their procedures has been a practice, and it's hard for them to change and improvement, due to their mind-set and live in a comfort zone for years.
