Pros

- above market average salary - stable work environment (rare redundancy, restructuring unlike the other industry/ companies) - excellent employee benefits (e.g. free travel, clubhouse, sport facilities, canteen)

Cons

- old fashioned management mind-set and culture. Working style stays at 80s - little promotion opportunities (unless you are the Graduate Trainee or High Potential employee pool). An employee can work in the same rank for 10+ without a single promotion or development opportunity if you do not fight/ ask for it - complicated and unclear internal processes and systems - silo work environment - limited collaboration between departments - little coaching from supervisor, expect you to figure it out all by yourself

Pros

- big company - brand-name effect - accepts interns of all years I actually really enjoyed my experience and what I learnt. the environment is lax, yet employees are willing to help you learn. Part of the attractiveness of working in a big company is that their internship programs will be more established, and MTR delivered just that. My project experience was satisfying, and there was a strong sense of letting interns take ownership over their projects.

Cons

- bureaucratic - slow pace, stagnant (my manager had to wait 10 years for his promotion) - mean age is 35+ MTR has a monopoly over the metro services in Hong Kong. As such, there isn't a sense of always being better and better, but rather just keep doing what they have been doing all this time. As an intern, I found it hard to introduce new concepts, software and tools to the company.
