How is working in a shophouse fun? I have not worked in such environment before. But I expect space will be quite cramp? Small desk space?

pro and con, depends on what line he is in.

 

Pro would be the more casual environment and convenience, also the colorful different walk of life.

 

Con would be the 'professional image' of getting to be seen compare to the high rise modern building and the good smell of the office tower. Food also convenience but at a cost.

 

also the warm wooden feel vs the cold metal and glass.

If I am your friend, I would consider that option too.

Today relocate, tomorrow retrench ?

it promote a more family feel as the office layout is usually open concepts, no room some time even for the boss.

 

not that cramp and a lot of room for creativity. The good thing is you no need to wait and squeeze in the lift with others

Suntec 7-8 years ago still not bad, then the mall business went down, Carrefour close down and the prolonged renovation KNS .. he really like Suntec so much ?

 

He really like Suntec a lot!!! His previous company also in Suntec. Since started working, he has been working in Suntec all his life.

If he see it as a downgrade then find new job. One primary concern if he drives is parking space. Suntec has plenty of parking compared to Chinatown. Suntec has better access to other things as well. Depends on what the company does, office location is often used to benchmark a company's worth.....if they are in media, publishing maybe still ok....

My office also open concept. Only the MD got a room, the rest all just L-shaped tables. My office also will be relocated end of this year but still within the same building. We just signed a new 5 year lease for a higher level. Looking forward to a new office, hope to get good seats(PC monitor away from others).
