Would like to find out more about the job nature of the above from those who have worked in this position/role in
NCS before. I believe this is primarily a software development role.
Some specific questions:
- Location: are they stationed at customer's remote offices/sites, or they are primarily at NCS Hub?
- Weekday Overtime: can expect how often and how late can it get?
- Weekend Work: do they have to work on weekends in office, client site or at home?
- After-office hour maintenance: do they have to do system backup, or software updates / deployments after 6pm on weekdays or weekends? Or is there a system/deployment engineer or system administrator for that?
- Time-off: if they are involved in after-office hour backups/deployments at night (7pm-10pm) or early morning (1am-4am), are they required to report back for work at 8:30am until 6pm (assuming no OT) the following day?
- Career progression: are application consultants pressured to take on team lead or project management role? Can they choose to stay on technical route and be some solution architect role in their 40s and 50s?
