We love the bonuses at DSTA. |
Just curious?
Market Adjustment Component(MAC), is it given in the form of additional bonus or in the form of additional increment to basic salary? which one is true.....this thread here got double standard? |

However there's a price to pay for that. Most of my friends complain for years that they don't learn anything substantial there and has no job satisfaction yet continue to stay there. If you just want a stable comfortable life and can put up with bureaucracy and red tape this is a good place to be at. |

1) Correct. MAC can take either of the forms. Additional point being that "industry" also encompasses the environment internal to DSTA. Some people, for one reason or another, fall behind other comparable members within DSTA. So that is taken care of by MAC. 2) Not true. Perhaps your friends have not fought for their own progression and development. The fact that they continue to stay despite being unsatisfied may suggest that that is their nature. Personally, I insisted on learning valuable technologies and that put me in good stead when I decided it was time for me to leave. 3) Maybe I was lucky - I did not experience bureaucracy and red tape. That also wasn't a general problem, by the way. People who are interested in going to DSTA shouldn't consider this as a negative factor. |

In terms of learning, what can be learnt at DSTA in terms of technical knowledge is way below that in the private sector, though that is because I hopped to foreign MNCs. I find that the "technical" knowledge I learnt at DSTA is superficial. The only thing I learnt there is project mgmt and soft skills and if that is your chosen path then it's good transferable knowledge. Otherwise look elsewhere. |

Is the ceiling for average engineers way above (or comparable) to civil service? For example, from another thread, the CEP of an average graduate in CS is MX10. And the ceiling of MX10 is just under $11K. |
just a curious question, civil servants received a total of 2.5 mths of bonus in year 2013.
so did DSTA employees receive the same 2.5 mths bonus? if not how much was the bonus in 2013? |
Does dsta consider 2 years NS as working experience or 0 for fresh graduates?
|
Anyone knows the pay increment of a average performer of a fresh grad working as Procurement executive? would be so grateful for any genuine replies.
Thanks!! |
