Calling all NCS... Lai lai lai, bonus coming
 

Calling all NCS... Lai lai lai, bonus coming in 2 weeks time.
This is the first time with aws component in our mthly basic.
So lets see if the bonus will still b as good.

many are saying 5-7 mths for non-manager, 6-8 mths for managers as this year performance not bad.

Lol! If it is true, i think many people will join NCS.
But of course, we will be more than happy.
Lets hope CWB and all Dir. will b kind.

I wondered what happened?!! Unbelievable! Stunned like a...

What happened to leave you stunned?

Terribily low bonus when group CEO and coy CEO informed us that coy did very well for the last FY. Exceeded the targeted margin but yet didnt share the fruits with staff?
So where all the fruits go to?

Lol who was shouting about 5-7 months? NCS is known for 1. low pay 2. low bonus

Very dissappointing, this year make more profit than last year and yet bonus keep getting lower & lower... KNN...

Seems like only 1-1.5 mths for average performer. KNS. People at ST draw high salary & bonus & just keep squeezing the subsidiary.

not surprising lah, ncs is a sme doing mainly low margin gov jobs. realistically how much bonus do ppl really expect? cant believe so many ppl really think ncs gonna pay them 6-7 months bonus. xiao

The consolation is our local SI competitor, ST Electronics is giving bonus worse than NCS.
So count our blessings, we have job security, company is stable, we r big players in govt. tenders, if u don't perform well, project will still go-live somehow. And for all u know, maybe u will retire in NCS if it is already your comfort zone.

Problem is NCS & STE basic is very low, most of us depend on the bonus (last time was ~3 months) to top up and at least not so bad annually. Now they keep dropping the bonus this year cannot even get 2 months unless good performer the whole package is dropping every year. This year I get 4% increase then they cut another 1 month in bonus end up total pay keeps dropping!!!

I got only 3.59%. U got 4%, better than me :(

just wondering, when will hr get back to you after the interview?

Mine is 3 wks after campus recruit.

so how much is the bonus for this year? are their basics high? will it be the same as civil service for 2nd lower honors ~3.6k for fresh grad?

woah, thats pretty long..

Performance bonus for Perm Staff are totally peanuts compared to those on Contracts! How unfair can NCS be? So what if perm staff are getting higher salary than contracts staff, but bonus payout lose to them. KNN NCS! PUI!!!!!!!!!!

Perm staff perf bonus not even 1 mth of their salary, and contract staff can get 2 - 2.5 mth bonus. WTH?!?!?!?

feel free to find another job. 1 month bonus is a joke.

actually 1 mth is for below average performer. if ur average or above average should be getting 1.4-1.5 mth. not that its any better.... haha...

contract staff no aws, the 2 mth contractual bonus is inclusive of aws actually.

Hi

Does perm staff have aws which is the 13 mth? cause recently i heard that contract say no aws but only got performance bonus.

Pls advice thanks!

All my colleagues who are perm staff, their perf bonuses are not even 1 mth of their salary.
NCS is a joke. Please don't join NCS!

Perm staff have aws, so 1mth aws + 1mth performance bonus = 2 mths which is same as contract.

Perm is actually better because worse come to worse you still have guarantee 1mth aws. Contract is really depend, if they want to give 0 you also LLST.

NCS without good bonus is actually very low in total pay. For e.g. a Project Director is only paid like 9k x 14.5 mth include bonus only 130k which is a joke as many mncs pay their non-managers higher than that.

Recently my friend get hired as perm staff say that NCS no aws so a bit confuse

NCS is definitely not a good place for those who intend to progress in career. Prospects very limited as parent see them as just a cash cow subsidiary to squeeze money from gov projects because they are GLC.

Pay & bonus is even worse than a lot of SME, the only thing they are good at is giving out fake job titles, everyone is a consultant/manager/director over there.

I got a call from "World Partners Solution pte ltd" call me for interview for PABX engineer post and will be work at NCS. Is anyone had same situation with me...?? What is the pro and cons...?? Thanks

The only thing worse than joining a crap co like NCS is to go join a contract outsourcer doing sai gang that even NCS themself dont want to do.

World Partners Solution is a grand name for a very small low end local it support firm, go there @ your own risk

For new staff, there is no more AWS and currently I don't think they are taking in direct contract staff anymore. Recently bonus is really crappy (less than 1 mth) for newly converted perm staff. Really SG50 FTW!

Less than 1 mth bonus in Jun 2015?!!! Sure or not? Not true lah. Minimally 1.2 to 1.5 mths.

Ncs does not pay AWS anymore
 

Ncs used to have 13th month but that policy changed in 2014. Instead they apportion 13th month into ur monthly base salary. However that applies only to perm staff affected by this policy change. For subsequent new hires, no such thing - only variable bonus which ranges between 1 to 4 months

so the best a staff can get is 4 mths w/o aws? that is quite bad since their basic salary is already very low. is the average 2 mths w/o aws for most people?

Yes. On average, most will get about 2 months. The better performers get 3 months+ and best performers should be 4 months+

The performance grading is from 1 to 5 where 1 is the best and 5 is the poorest. The earlier post on ppl in ncs getting 1 month; those are probably graded 4 which is considered below the average.

Can join ncs or not
 

I am a java developer with 5 plus years. But i have 2 years career gap.Now I have got selected in NCS . Before interview consultant told job is Ncs & client is IBM.During interview the interviewer told client is Singtel.After reading all the post I have got confused whether to join or not.The pay is correct as compared to other companies.But I am not sure about job security,work culture,bonus etc

NCS now is under singtel, but they also do outsourcing business, so you might get attached to other company as well, it is better for you to understand the job scope by asking the hiring manager.

I'm a P1 consultant earning $3k right now. If I were to get promoted to P2 grade, may i know how increment will I be getting? Was thinking of switching jobs.

Any P2 graders can enlighten me on the pay for P2?

Thanks!!

promotion increment should be ard 20-25%

I am with NCS for 9 years, P1, now getting 4.2K. Is this normal career/salary progression in NCS.

Nowadays, it is not normal for someone to stay that long in NCS
