How's the work life like in NCS for you? Im thinking of going for NCS instead after reading alot of **** about ST engineering :') But also heard that NCS can be toxic depending on the team I'm put into.

Wow sorry, quite surprised because my friends work there since 2020 and their hiring managers just straight up told them "don't refer private uni people".

Anyway congrats man, pay is 3.8k starting, will scale depending if you can negotiate or not. For culture I don't know, depends which team you going to.

Thanks man. May I know how's the culture for your friends working in ST?

For SWE no matter where you go it highly depends on the team, across the board there is hybrid work arrangement in the company but I am one of the lucky few who get to WFH all the way.

ST and NCS same same in terms of culture, take the offer with higher paying total compensation(pretty sure its NCS), ask if there is 13th month bonus and whats the average performance bonus. Currently NCS no 13th month bonus so you have to factor that into the calculation for TC.

I'm with the company for 5 years already. Managers ask me what I specialized in, and I always tell them I wash toilet 1. Act blur lives longer. There are 6-8 managers for every 1 SWE. It's retarded, technical managers don't even know ****.
