APPLICATION INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEER/SIRO

May 2025

Pasir Panjang Central Region3 to 4 years in the role, current employee

GovTech claims to be building a high-performance organization, but its internal practices tell a different story. The performance appraisal system is fundamentally flawed—biased, unfair, and lacking transparency. Despite repeated feedback, there is little to no improvement in how performance is assessed across roles. As the agency pushes forward with its in-house software development agenda, a clear and growing favoritism towards software engineers has emerged. Non-engineering roles, regardless of their critical contributions, are sidelined and undervalued during performance reviews and career advancement discussions. This favoritism has created a divide within the organization, demoralizing many capable professionals who are essential to the success of cross-functional teams. A truly high-performance culture should recognize and reward diverse skill sets, not just favor one group at the expense of others.

The good thingsProvide good training opportunity. Hybrid working environment

The challengesDoing paper for good rather than tech for public good. A lot of administrative work such as compliance and procurement. Most of the time you are spending on administrative task such as billing, preparing tender documents, resolve compliance.

Pasir Panjang Central Region11 to 12 years in the role

Good learning experience to learn about the red-tapes and amount of paperwork in public sector.

The good thingsGood thing is you can get certification and certification and thats all GovTech cares about and thats how they measure you.

The challengesNo chance of promotion even if you work hard, it is all above sucking up to the bosses and how well you socialise your way up. Some keeps promoting every year while some after 10-15 years still the same grade.
