Poor management and culture

The middle and higher management have no grasp of what is happening on the ground. If there's any issue, it's the low ranked staff who are fixing it. There will be a lot of emails asking for updates but none that offer any help. No lead or directions from the managers. You will be expected to fend for yourself. New tasks will continuously come in but there won't be any proper environment or documentation. No OT pay, no recognition, lots of politics. If you're a yes man who is willing to work long hours, be available all the time and not question anything, you will survive here. Culture is really bad, team members don't get along, there's no team spirit, lots of blame game. It's difficult to go on leave and the salary increment is low.

Pros

Stable job, decent pay

Cons

Long hours, bad culture, no leadership

Can’t switch project as easily

Stable company with good benefits

I have been in the company since 2011. Benefits are good but management is just ok. They also offer good training and education for career growth and self improvement.

Work/Life Balance but career growth is limited

Work/Life Balance but career growth is limited, Job culture is quite ok, team members can work together and help each other when some one in need. Management depends on PM, different PM has different style.

Challenging with a high spirit

I started working in NCS in November 2008 as a Application Consultant in a banking domain project for 4 years and promoted to Senior Application Consultant. The Company is giving a way to all the staff to uplift their learnings by providing them trainings.

Na

You can join government project in this company. Besides the technology, i have learned most is how to communicate with customers. For my project, need a lot of OT at night or during weekends.

Great Place to start as a fresh graduate

Great Place to start as a fresh graduate. The kind of day you will have in NCS pretty much is correlated to the kind of project you are assigned to. The company encourages continuous learning, and provides endless learning opportunities for the employees.

Pros

Lunch Talks, Learning Opportunities.

training, exposure of end to end project

Cons

Ot, no work life balance, stressful

Good for start

NCS is the biggest ICT company in Singpare in term of the number of hired. It gives lots of opportunities to those who has just entered IT industry without much experience.
