    Good environment
    The good thingsI love the work environment, after some years with NSTP it feels like home. But when things are too comfortable, your learning curve will become plateau.
    The challengesAs a millennial, I didn't get a chance for a career advancement. I want to transfer to another department, but my manager didn't let me. So frustrated!

    A place full of knowledge
    The good thingsI really really love doing my internship programme here. There is so many knowledge that I could learn from all of my editors. They will provide you with tons of tips and tricks, information and many other things. The working environment is so good. Its calming and there is almost no pressure at all. Our bosses are super kind. They will always cheer me up whenever I was feeling down. Anyways, it is a good place to begin your career with!
    The challengesTo be honest, the one thing that I find it hard for me is that I was not a Journalism student. I didn't get to learn much about news writing and reporting when I was studying so it is quite hard for me to adapt to this work. But, it is still a precious experience for me and I couldn't thank my SVs and bosses enough for the experience and knowledge they gave me!
