Anyone from training and simulation can advise what is the culture like?
I attended an interview for software but can't seem to get what the culture iis like.

Feels very secretive.

I'm interested in the job description but at the same time I'm not sure whether I have the simulation background for it?

I come from Web development background.

Congrats.
I joined ST as mechanical engineer back in 2008 with starting pay of 3k.
Every year increment is like 3% on average. One peodinotioj I got 8%.

So right now im close to 4.8k.

So I'd you join as fresh grad now. I probably get same pay as your or lower but I'm 13 years exp.

Yes sad. But ofc I excluded the 2 to 3 months bonus in the equation.

Not sure why work so many years so long only to be on par with fresh grad.
Its also like, wait for it, experience has no value.

All the more reasons don't join.
Your colleagues all are like 2nd lower, private uni, diploma, won't respect you fch for being privileged.
You won't gain any respect here.

So don't join better.
Join dsta or a star those scholars places so your can flaunt your FCH amongst each other. Then they can compare dual degree or MIT or business degrees or master or PhD.

Don't come ST cause ST engineers, including management are all average students, so is average employee now

so its true fresh grad starting pay for IT close to 4k+ already? any sources? or hearsay from fresh grads in ST? regarding your salary, back in 2008, career coach say the pay was horrible... so i guess its unfortunate to join at that time since your progression will be pegged to starting salary?

Worst kind are managers with average brain but scholar pay check, won't listen to fch advise one.
You will end up always arguing with dumb managers and your seniors...
You won't be happy here.

just curious, u FCH wouldn have been poached already? I'm surprised you are looking here for information(genuine curious)
