Extremely political
Business Analyst (Former Employee) - Singapore - January 15, 2023
Only those who knows carrying favor will get the good book from the management. Those who focusing only on work hard or work smart will tend to lose out.If you are on contract? Your career is at the chopping board.
Pros

Cons
Disgustingly political working environment.

Lack in Leadership
IT Specialist (Former Employee) - Singapore - July 20, 2022
There are supervisors/managers who really needs leadership skills - good communicators from top management to subordinates. We understand that stats matter and keep track of how to earn revenue. Learn to communicate the goals and not just threaten and get too personal. They often forget that they have hired human beings and not robots.

So so company
System Engineer (Former Employee) - Singapore - April 23, 2022
The package is not very competitive depending on the department you are in. Vendor environment, so there might be some discrepancy between your SLA and customer demands. Colleague wise is ok, as there is not much room for growth in the position therefore not much competition from your colleague.

Overall so so
Software Engineer (Former Employee) - 5 Ang Mo Kio Street 62, NCS Hub, Singapore 569141 - March 27, 2022
Bad compensation for people who stay long.It depends on your luck and which boss you meet. Some projects are very political. There is no proper team lead in some teams and led to doing things our way. And changes are required because there's no proper communication beforehand.A supportive boss who encourages exposure to new activities. The Cons is the management is messy, and no proper KT to do a particularly challenging task.

Good place, good colleagues
IT Consultant (Former Employee) - Ang Mo Kio - March 17, 2022
I worked in NCS for about 10 years plus. I have picked up a lot of technical skills in NCS. Management is good. My colleagues and boss are nice and fun to work with and there are a lot of opportunities to take up courses (be it online or face to face). I like the environment and culture too. Location wise is accessible as well. Most enjoyable part of the job will be the opportunities to learn new things. I dont think there is any hardest part of the job.
