ENP Directors that have lost their directions

Current Employee, more than 1 year
Directors that have lost their directions
27 Apr 2023 - Engineer in Singapore

Pros

The staff welfare are generally good (e.g. snacks provided, coffee/tea etc.). Salary is generally quite competitive if we are comparing with other government agencies. There are many learning opportunities (e.g. ample courses that helps with our competencies and cross-knowledge) given to us as well.

Cons

The directors in ENP (which is under GDS) bascially have lost their sense of directions. Instead of focusing on long-term goals, they are more interesting in meeting all those short-term or ad-hoc requirements that are given by the customers or users. As those requirements are many and just keep coming in, this end up we as engineers or developers working overtime to meet those requirements. Sometimes our work end up being furtile, because the requirements got scrapped for some reasons, and we could have use those time to do a more meaningful work that at least meet the long-term goals. Because of all those changing requirements, the purpose of the project is kind of lost somewhat, and sometimes we ourselves are also lost in directions because the ENP directors direct us to the wrong directions. They say that we have to be agile and practice agile development to meet the new requirements, but I feel that this is just an excuse to pacify and make the users and customers "happy" in the expense of our time and our that we have lost. Also, one of the directors got promoted last year despite the subpar director work, which I'm not sure why though.

Advice to Management

HR should do a thorough review of the directors performance. Instead of just looking at what they have written in the staff appraisal, they should also consider taking in feedbacks from their subordinates and consider those feedbacks as part of their performance. Other than that, the staff benefits and learning opportunities are generally good.

It’s not fair to reveal ppl identity and make negative comment on internet without basis and without assuming responsibility.

They are just normal person, not in charge of world peace, not threatening anyone… why have to expose them to the world in this way….

OGP 1 year exp offer $9600? good to join?

Sign-on Bonus
2 month sign-on bonus for fresh hires

Hello,

Received an offer, Grade G, 8900/month for Data Scientist 2. Was told avg annual package is 14 months

I'm 31 this year, nss, NUS FCH + masters and many other significant accomplishments.

This salary seems low and not much different from other ministries, given that there is no 13th month, no mid year/end year AVC etc. Can I get your opinion on this offer?

the additional 2 months = PB?

what is your last drawn salary?

PB + corp bonus. Seems very low, when PB alone is 2.75 months for C grade in my old place

Also forgot to mention, 4 year exp

you from ministry with mx11? PB here average 1-2 months.

for 4 year epx, 8.9k is above average bro

yup. annually, the package not so diff from my old place. wondering if the offer worth accepting

I’m grade H drawing 8800 with 10 years exp and 37 this year hence $8900 seems like a good offer for just 4 years experience!

Also what you think is significant might not be the case… NUS FCH + Master don meant anything, get a PHD then say..

OGP 1 year exp earn $9600

then join OGP :)

Jon grab better

HR never appreciate the exp one

If not too different not worth leh. Change job in tech role always come with an increment

You sound salty. If its not recognized, why would HR value it as such then? Also it sounds like your experience isnt relevant, or HR doesnt value your qualifications.

Also, years of experience doesnt translate to capability btw. My peers are earning 140k++, same year of exp as me but I have better qualifications, hence the question of whether this offer is worth it since its quite a bit less.
