Nope
 

Nobody knows including HR.
This company changes policy and org chart every year.
Hard to keep track and follow.

Yup every year reorg with the same people but change job title and always new pattern on policy after every reorg, super annoying

Finally plan to throw after upcoming bonus, the place is getting too toxic.

The best way to climb fast is to carry balls and eggs.

Is 4.7k good salary as software engineer at ST? How is yearly increment and bonus? First job after graduating from NTU.

Sure. Since you're paid more than your seniors. You should be doing all the work.
Have fun.

Personally, I think 4.7k is a good salary to start off with. However, you got to bear in mind that there are other software engineer post that’s being paid 7k for a start, so don’t be blinded by the starting pay.

For de bonus and increment. First year: no bonus cos there’s only performance bonus which is for the work done the year before. Increment will only happen every July, if you join Jan 2023, your increment will be split into two portions, first in Jan 2024 and your final incremented pay will be in July 2024.

There are also a lot of salty people as fresh grad pay is higher than theirs.

Anyone went through the digital academy for engineer role can share experience and salary?

Changing of job titles are usually reserved for the management.

Nowadays newly graduated kids with degree pay much higher than old birds with years of experience...

How is this fair?? Kns.

Not fair then you quit and go back school lo..

Will i be entitle bonus in 2023 if I join on 3 Oct 22?

Suck thumb la, brother. Fastest way is jump ship and get better salary loh. A lot employer especially ins SG see paper more important. No paper, no talk. You work how hard also cannot get hire or promote one. That's why so many "elites" holding top position.

Loyal to one company also no point, can work for 20-30 years, then once the employee die, will get replaced asap. Might as well jump ship where the company pay more.

Yup pro-rated 2/12 of bonus. Year end in Dec. So 2 months worth nia.

stop giving wrong info, the FY 2022 does not end in dec 22. It ends in mar or april. If you joined in Oct 22 and you have passed your probation, you will likely receive a pro-rated bonus of maybe 5 or 6 months in april 22.

Meta Takes Aim at Bosses Who Don’t Actually Do Anything
s://.vice.com/en/article/bvm9mw/meta-takes-aim-at-bosses-who-dont-actually-do-anything

ST need to start doing this.

Impossible. This company treasures employees by their length of service, hardly by merit unless the person is really very outstanding. Some more, most of the "bosses who don't do anything" are usually long service award winners of 15 years and above.

One good example, there was an engineer who is very outstanding in his work. But management only promoted him after 6 years. The PM he was under, can't do anything right, got promoted twice in 5 years.

What's the typical % base salary increase from E5 to E6?

average performance will get +4% for promotion from E5 to E6, E6 to M1....and so on...it is standard % increment

Then I rather not promote. 😂 I've already got 4% just normal increment.

How’s the employee benefits for STE?

not sure about your BU, but mine had literally nothing other than the standard 14 days medical leave, hospitalization leave etc and absolutely nothing else.

Who has info on this year upcoming March 2023 bonus for band2 and band1

u are perm staff and yet got no benefits?

Yeah, alot of the perm staff left, comparing to the contract staffs there wasn't anything worth mentioning

Previously perm staff had a lot more benefits compared to contract staff. Then the management started slashing special bonuses, stocks and things like leave.

The only difference now is the name of the employment itself, perm vs contract, and probably the staff pass.

Is the office there still felt too cold? Previously I still recall employees wore winter jackets in the office especially during the rainy season. Their office aircons are really very powerful. :)

How is the culture there like in 2023? Please share for those still working or worked there.

If you are fresh grad:
Do your best to avoid any business unit that does MINDEF Projects. Majority of them don't sell software, they sell retirement portfolios. A large number of ex-civil servants are parachuted in at senior management positions. Most of their job involves slapping a sales KPI onto the lower echelons to deliver and convincing other people that leadership is very important. After all, they have no other relevant experience in this industry. You are more likely to find yourself learning from mistakes on the job rather than learning from experienced people. The longer you stay, the more obsolete your skills compared to the outside industry.

Only apply this place if you derive satisfaction in helping incompetent people retire.

Does that apply to all SWE roles as well? :/

Has anyone completed Digital Academy Program under ST recently for software engineer role??

Wondering how the whole course is like and if the workload is manageable (OT a lot?)

Also curious about the culture in ST at the moment.

If you prove to be competent, they will lump more work to you and take the credit. Any requests for raises or promotion is always met with "do first, then we X later" attitude.

More often than not, you will always have teammates that make you wonder how they get in. Spoiler alert, the same goes for the management level as well. Like someone said previously, parachute down one

Here the background check on education is quite dubious. Got plenty of ppl saying they are from NUS but can perform worse than diploma holders.

March 2023
 

Rough Estimate
Top 5 % - 4+
B1 - 3 to 3.3
B2 - 2 to 2.5
B3- 1 to 1.5
Bot 5% - 0.5

Is this on top of the normal annual increment? So if the yearly increment is 4%, the promotion adds slightly more than 4% on top of it?

Lol. So low. Can't believe ST pay you 4.7k base salary for SWE role

how much bonus you all got this year? i got only a measly 2.1 months. worse than last year!!

Just got bonus today. Can confirm the above is accurate

Got bonus email, confirm this is correct.
