Another pain-point would be the routine work, which I don't mind honestly. But from what I gather, it is a gloomy picture of DSTA's procurement department. Anybody can give inputs? How are the bosses like?
Applied for their role because I needed a job. At the stage where they are asking for additional documents. No invites for interviews yet, probably due to the circuit breaker period. |
Workload varies depending on the type of procurement you are doing. But it is generally high hence the high turnover rate.
Flexi working hours means you just need to clock 42 hours per week.
No fixed reporting or dismissal time as long as you can complete your work.
