Service group is the remnant from the IDA days. IDA has never been the destination of choice for fresh grads, until the rebranding to Govtech and the introduction of divisions like GDS and OGP.
What are u saying? So introduction to GDS then fresh grad want to join? Its time for rebranding anyways and after the fake cert incident

Services can only control timeline that much. We have to work with vendor and GDS. We have to manage up down left right

Can launch who wants to cause delay.

But which project doesn't have issue? Don't just blame services la.everyone played a part

Re-org and culture

Cybersecurity Specialist
Current employee, more than 3 years

Pros
WFH, still kinda flexi to working hour.

Cons
Org is going through re-org and everything changes quickly. Very frustrating to do work as decision from top down is not dismantle quickly causing redundant work effort. Too many long meetings and disruptive to deliverables.

Advice to Management
Stop taking in uniform group retirees

GDS folks going to SVC for safe haven? Maybe because your turnover is so high, you have a lot of spare headcount.

If you don't recognize the mediocrity that is service group, then you must still be new, naive or delusional.
