Pros

I like to work here because of the relaxed culture. This organization seeks to be as flat as possible therefore your voices and grievances can be heard.

Cons

It really depends on the manager. Unfortunately, some managers put more focus on quantity versus quality. Sacrificing quality leads to a lot of bugs.. And frankly, this company seems to be gravitating towards a bug driven development. Processes that were put in place to prevent such insidents from happening are not being followed when there are tight deadlines. But.... No matter how much emphasis you put on your delivery, when there is no quality, bugs will always creep out.

Pros

- Work life balance - Flexi-time - Gives the freedom of implementing projects to its employees (solutions coming from the employees). - Office ambiance/working environment is amazing - World class health benefits (the best in PH at the moment in my opinion) - Competitive entry level salary.

Cons

- Very low yearly increase (compared to competing companies). - Basis for promotions is VERY questionable (favoritism, non-technical contributions, etc.). - It is very difficult to get a promotion within a team. Sometimes, the only means of promotion is switching to a different team/department/business line.

Pros

Experienced and technically strong seniors. Can learn a lot if you will get into good projects. Rewards are based on your performance.

Cons

Bad management. Project planning are not proper which results in extra work load during release times. Some product managers will try to put unnecessary extra pressure. Sometimes they will call you on weekends even though you don't have work. War room culture. They will start a war room for each project from the beginning without proper planning. There is no point in that and that never ends well. Very less hikes. No extra benefits to employees apart from salary and medical insurance. HR managers are not reachable at all. They will meet you once in your tenure over there, during your joining.
