won't comment on the other parts but the salary is true, so is the technical capability part.

typically 12month + aws (13th mon) + 3 months bonus (for average performer)

better than average performer get around 4 months bonus and the best performer can get up to 6 months.

most IDA staff, even those who claim to be tech savvy, actually can't survive a real technical job outside. maybe they can when they first come, but the environment doesn't really encourage or facilitate improvements on technical capability. eventually one either accept the "project manager" career, or go for management, or strategy. there's no real technical job within IDA, all real techy part done through throwing tender, or call challenge and grant.

IDA is famous among Singapore engineering community for ultra politicking. Having lost all their credibility, high salary is the only way to save their grace.

Typically they get 16 months salary a year, while those guys inside sucks big time technically. Meanwhile they can console themselves that they are "planners", project managers, who are the kind that PAP government think they deserve high salary.

The outside contractors and good engineers do the real work.

PAP jobs are hopeless unless you know how to suck coc.
