How do you rate your job performance? 7% is very high with comparison to private sector counterpart.

Last but not least, how long does it take to get promotion? Any promotion increment?

Thanks for sharing ! Have a nice day !

I think generally abt 5% for C, 7% for B.
Not many people will get A (top 5%).

Promotion is whatever you get for B/C, + maybe 5-7%.

Pay aside, work in DSTA is extremely hectic due to the demands of the govt. Certain projects may require you to fly frequently. It is a high tempo, high stress environment, but you also grow personally and professionally. Don't just go in for the pay.

I saw that DSTA recently put back the job position for Naval, Air, Land system engineer. Does it mean that i was not successful in the application? I did not receive any emails in regards to the position that i applied.

I reapplied for the position again, just in case.

I believe DSTA is always open to hiring top engineers throughout the year, therefore they will always have the job listed up on their website. If you are successful though, they will still contact you so don't worry about their job listing on the web. And they normally call instead of email.
