      Does GovTech offer bonus pay?

      GovTech reviews

      Use and throw away

      Software developer
      Former contractor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Nice colleagues to work with that are very supportive.

      Cons

      Management only cares about their KPI and cut costs for new / existing employees (usually hire contract positions using external HR agencies so they can cut you off and low ball you when they don't need you or transfer your current contract to a lower benefit HR agency when they renew you). The benefits for contract employees are bad, from base pay to bad medical and bonus and no other benefits is provided. (gathered insights from several different HR agencies employees) Suggest new contract employees to not treat this as a place to stay long but rather a jumping board (1 - 1.5y max.)

      Good and bad

      Pros

      Good pay and bonus, nice hq office though U may not be in hq.

      Cons

      Red tape and everyday change direction.

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Work life balance good culture

      Cons

      No bonus no pay rise

      Stable with good benefit

      Digital business analyst
      Current contractor
      Singapore
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Stable, salary and bonus higher than market, can redeploy to other agencies after 3-5 years

      Cons

      The recent re-organization to different paths is confusing, not sure how future will be after this re-org.

      Flexible work options overshadowed by management issues

      Project manager
      Current employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Flexible working experience Training provide

      Cons

      Messy HQ. Pulling in people all from the same company as a Snr Mgt Current transformation is disastrous. Trying to kill off long service staff with pay, appraisal and bonus restructuring almost every year.

      Sigh

      Software engineer
      Current employee
      Singapore
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      People are good at what they do generally, good place for learning and picking up different skillset

      Cons

      Leadership is pushing for work from office and everyone to be a generalist. On top of that the appraisal framework kept changing, everything has to be about impact regardless of your position. If you stuck in a project with low impact, good luck to your bonus and promotion

      Best place to do Data Science in the Singapore Government

      Data scientist
      Current employee
      Singapore
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      As compared to most other agencies/ministries, you'll have actual teams who know how to do CI/CD, and you can leverage a host of tools created to make the complicated Government Commercial Cloud easy to use. For example, tools to deploy data infrastructure that comply with all the added security. Most of the scripts that vendors typically handout will not work. If you fail a project, you will get a new one and a bad bonus. Not getting fired.

      Cons

      Your mileage might vary. Some of the middle management have strong track record in tech, but most of the senior management is ex military or sent from another government branch. If you fail multiple projects, you will get a new one and a bad bonus. Not getting fired.
