"As a large government in the center of the world technology, it has been very adaptive to the new technology and supportive to the technology development in the market. I am working in the technology department. We have the opportunity of see, learn and try all kinds of technology from the market around us. The coworkers are very nice and very supportive to each other. The only drawback is that the working schedule is not as flexible as those in the private sectors."
