What It Is Like Working Here

• Working for Public Good - We care about making an impact on public good. For the Corporate team, this first means creating the right environment for our product teams to work directly on the biggest opportunities out there. This also means creating what’s best-in-class, and then propagating these practices widely across the government so that the Singapore Government is equipped to deliver the best impact possible to our people.
• Rapid Prototyping - We’re not about building too-big-to-fail ideas, or getting stuck behind existing ways of doing things or mega projects. Instead of spending too much time debating ideas, we prefer to test them and iterate rapidly. This means being clear on what we’re trying to achieve, leaning forward to farm for dissent and feedback, prototyping early, and scaling what works quickly.
• Ownership - We are not here just to keep existing processes running, but to make Singpass the best place possible for people to join and make an impact toward public good. This means taking ownership of problems, figuring out what needs to be done, and keep going until the problems are solved, regardless of job scope or existing ways of doing things.
• Growth Mindset - We focus on making things better than they are today. This means that we are constantly working on new things and new areas, and reinventing the areas we are already ‘good’ at to get better. Working here means having a growth mindset as opposed to a fixed one, and leaning forward to try things, make mistakes, and learn.
