NCS is a joke. Please don't join NCS!

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

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.

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!!

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