[SNAblog]

Almost close to a billion dollars of taxpayers' money to be spent feeding this GLC's fat cats and cronies. Anyone in the IT industry will tell you that NCS is just a hopeless govt outfit that would have been gone belly up a long time ago without any govt support.

heard from my counsin that NCS is a hopeless company... very bad corporate culture, lot of back-stabbing.

my counsin joined ncs few year ago... for 1 yr plus, cannot take it and resign. He has been in IT industry for almost 8 years, worked in 4 companies.. and he said NCS is the worst that he has ever experienced
