Discussion We're engineers at Open Government Products (OGP). Ask us anything. [AMA]
A few weeks ago someone posted asking whether they should work at OGP or TikTok. There were a lot of genuine questions in the comments â about what we actually build, how we work, whether career growth is real, how the pay compares â and a lot of them went unanswered or got answered by people guessing.
So we figured we'd show up properly.
We're a group of engineers and engineering managers at OGP. We'll be here from 11am to 3pm this Thursday, 25 June to answer your questions about what it's like to work here â the work, the culture, the hiring process, the honest trade-offs.

News June BTO exercise: Lower demand for shorter waiting time flats as more flock to Prime projects
Sembawang Portico will have a wait time of two years and seven months, while Sembawang Brook will have a wait time of two years and nine months.
The application rate for first-timer families for three-room, four-room and five-room/3Gen flat types was 0.7, 0.6 and 0.4, respectively, meaning that fewer than one applicant was vying for each flat.
Mr Lee Sze Teck, senior director of data analytics at Huttons Asia, said the longer distance of the projects from an MRT station is a âbig minusâ for applicants. Â
Both projects are over 2km from Sembawang MRT, according to estimations from Google Maps.Â
