MINDEF DXO (All FAQ on it)

Around 6 months into the job and realised I am having some job fit issues. There are however other roles in the organisation which I feel are more suitable for me. Do I have to wait for the minimum service period ( I believe mine is 2 years) before having any chance of rotation?

I heard so, unless you got a very strong case to justify for the transfer (of cos both side willing to let go/accept you) which i also heard a successful case on my side tho i dont know the details

Hi all, am very new to the realm of DXO. I was recently offered a position as mgr under Service Delivery Division. But I heard scary anecdotes from the experience people in here. Just hope to clarify because the stories was like from 2022. Appreciate anyone's advice! Thank you!

anybody knows the salary range & DX grade for AM, M and SM?

Also, where is the office location for SDD?

Helping to bump this up, hoping to know more about Service Delivery Division as there's not much info about it.

Attended interview recently, but not for defence policy office. It was through Zoom, with hiring managers only.

What role issit

SDD is more of creating values for MINDEF in areas of service delivery. Currently their offices are everywhere - some WeWork, some MINDEF and etc - i think you would know it at your site preview.

Super big boss is a retired General, and the organisation is into Service Delivery so guess you should have enough work to do!

Anyone know what’s the hiring process like for DPO?

I had the same thoughts as you back when I joined in 2020 Jan. My background was in data analytics and I had 3 years work experience before I joined a specific process and policy department in Gombak camp. people were generally nice and respectful but I hated how I had 4 computers for different purposes and 3 access cards to these terminals. Felt incredibly constricted as I couldn’t even install certain BI programs or analytics software to do my work, was told I had to wait months just to get approval for IT guy to install certain packages on my laptop. Always had very unproductive long hours of meeting with directors and often without much conclusions - usually lasts 3-4 hours and sometimes past working hours.

I resigned in Apr 2020, went back to my old company for another 2 years before resigning again to join a local bank. Never looked back on my decision but I always recall the painful constrictive environment when working there. My only solace was that there was a free gym to workout and relieve stress. Advice to you if you really can’t get in sync with that environment, start looking elsewhere for opportunities. Grass can be greener on the other side!
