I don't think DSTA = Dont Start Till Afternoon. They seem to have a lot of OT even in Saturday!

i know some go for 3 breaks a day - breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea. and then they complain online that they have to work OT (which will also include dinner).

How do you know they ot even on Saturday? Do you work there? OT is a rare in DSTA. Maybe only when u are too lazy to finish up your work during normal working hours.

I was with DSTA for 4 years and had only a few OT when project deadline is near and we had to make sure everything is on the right track.

You might be in another project phase (lucky).

For me, i have been with DSTA for 6months and had an average of 3 OT days per month.

Anyone applied procurement executive recently and went for interview? What is the average period before the HR call up or email on the outcome?

upzzz for more info

In general, engineers have a good life is DSTA unless you happen to get posted into one of the place with lots of saikang.
