anyone work in Info-communications Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA)?
 

Is it a good place for fresh graduate to work as first job?

How is the working environment?

compare to govtech? need good programming skill?

does IMDA even hire programmers?

hi is it common for a non IT grad to enter imda?

hard to say, IMDA is the merger of part of IDA and MDA, so a LOT changes and internal re-org still going on.

GovTech on the other hand is actually the majority of the old IDA so things (or at least function and culture) remain largely the old IDA way. But since it is now part of PMO instead of MCI, and the whole Smart Nation thing is receiving a lot of pressure, they can be quite busy compared to the old days.

Not a bad place to start your first job, but need to think carefully about your exit options. If you want to move into industry, then certain jobs in public sector won't help that much.

very common

IMDA is a stat board, not a tech firm. especially after the restructuring, most actual tech job is with GovTech. IMDA now largely a regulator + industry developer (business development)

what's the culture like? friendly?

random question, how many floors does imda occupy at mbc?

culture, overall not bad, but very much dependent on your division/group head.

currently 8,9,11 and part of 12. next year after mda folks moving over will be 3-7 and part of 12

may i know how's the working hours like? need to OT regularly?

hi all

just wanna check does imda allow flexi work hours or arrangements such as work from home? as a tech-related organization they should have right?

if you are expecting a tech related organization in the civil service, you should be looking at govtech, not IMDA.

will work experience in govtech be relevant if i were to switch to private sector?

i have 4 years of experience in a japanese IT company dealing with network/infrastructure, if i were to join imda, would i be able to start of as manager or still asst manager like fresh grad?

Local uni degree? If yes, should be manager.

Depends what u r doing in govtech. There are many diff job scopes.

thanks for the reply. Yes i'm from local uni


may I know how long does it take for asst manager to be promoted to manager and then senior manager? assuming join as fresh grad

how many rounds of interview are there for assistant manager position?

Bumping up for advices. Thanks

And, is their scheme more generous than CS?
