DSO (under Mindef)

[qing]

Hi,

Can't seen to find any thread on DSO.

Anyone able to shine some lights?

Salary range - how much and a fresh grad from local uni gets?
Work life balance - Alot of OTs?
And the working environment

Also does anybody know if a position disappearing from the list of openeings available means they're looking at it or hired already?

Depends on your department and your project. It also depends on your competence. Work environment is generally good. All Singaporeans, 90 percent technical degree holders with excellent results, mostly guys. Results almost no office politics being played at the low level.

Does DSO not hire grads without honours? I've applied for 3 positions for the past 1 year and got no response at all.....

for technical grad positions you will need minimally a 2.1 to get called up.

Very little OT at the entry level, but may increase when you become more senior. Also, extremely dependent on the project deadlines and testing schedules, and the dept you're in
