I have worked in all 3 of this company. I can give yiu insight.
Ncs - have money and willing to attract talent (nucleus program) etc but with money come many projects and difficult client and always fighting fire. Cause accepted money and people quitting left and right and they are willing to pay to replace cause fire!!! So be prepared to work. Have learning opportunities as well. People leave after learning for easier life.

Nec - projects that lose out to ncs, come to nec. Usually cause they bid cheaper or ncs can't deliver the past few projects. So customer try new vendor. So cheaper bid. Means cheaper resources. I would say ncs is the power house. Nec is like 3rd class citizen. Not alot of smart people or tech people. Those few also semi exp probably quit from ncs etc. Just people doing C grade work can liao. Likewise bonus sucks. Office also sucks. Ncs office so big. Nec office one building one. Enufff said.

ST - defence project most of the time. No training etc. Cause the people principal engineer, etc all no skills one. Their promotion is based on length of service or how much the senior management like them. So be prepared to take order from clueless people. They want to hire people who have experience but not willing to pay for experience.

Since the pay is the same... It really is...
I would suggest going from ncs, ST to nec.
That way you can get experience from all. Since pay the same.
But start with ncs cause yiu can have more exposure. Training. Etc. Work with more tech savy people.
Once cannot take it. Bring that experience to the lower options.

Don't start with nec or st first.

Govtech are filled with Google wannabes. Scholar's etc. Bit nobody want to do the non glamorous work.

People wanted to join there cause $$$. I can tell you most gahmen agency also outsourcing to cheaper provide cause govtech charge alot. Why? Cause their scholars all high pay.

Govtech is not a place for retirement. ST better.
Govtech only good few years of resume

ST increment, expect 1%-2% increment yearly for average performer, no AWS 13th month, variable bonus is about 1 month for average performer, depending on which BU you are from.

Increment,
Band 3=1% +/- 0.2%
Band 2=2% +/- 0.2%
Band 1=3% +/- 0.2%

there are 2 more bands, Band3=bottom 5% and Band1=top 5% not sure of these 2.

promo increment anything higher than 10% is good already

ya ofc, why else would u wanna join govtech if not for the high(ish) pay?

agreed with u, it is not the place for retirement. i assumed the OP asking the above still wants to chiong and maximize his/her earning potential. not slack off and be irrelevant 5-10 years down the road.

if cannot get interview means bad?
