Workplace reviews and discussion: 財團法人中衛發展中心

The advantage is that you get to view government procurement from the perspective of a bid manager. Back then, colleagues at CSD often said they were the government's “white gloves.” Of course, they wouldn't put it that way in front of outsiders, so you could understand that civil servants generally weren't willing to leave the office to get things done—and how government business actually gets done. Writing proposals was also a very distinctive process; producing a proposal favored by civil servants is an interesting memory as well.

From what I've seen online, overtime at CSD is not as serious now. But when I worked at CSD ten years ago, the unit at the time was apparently called the Lifestyle Industry Division (it was so long ago that I don't know if I remember the name correctly). It was really a fucking burnout center, with extremely long working hours every day.
