So SWEs in GovTech don't actually code? Does this apply to all teams?

Not quite.

When people praise the work, they claim the credit.

If people not happy, then they blame outsourced contractor.

For a serious answer outside of "LOL GT just outsource everything to WITCH", each job posting is different in nature, it can depend. If the interview process does not have a stage to talk to your prospective team members which you will be working on day to day, run away.

Red tape: There's a reason why the CE/ACE/CTO's favourite Indeed/PIC hire did not have any results in 1 year outside of various abandoned POCs. If an entire division can be hired from private sector and they still do not have any results, you can assume how much red tapes/politics there is.

Angry Confused

What does GT BAs really do? Currently at a govt agency where there are so many GT BAs but there is no documentation protocol. And instead of doing proper requirement gathering and documentation, just pass to users and ask users to fill up the documentation themselves.
