Pros

Trainings Hybrid setup 2 dependents for HMO 13th month 15 days vacation leaves Project-based Very inclusive and allows their employees to belong There are a lot of benefits, especially during the pandemic and post-typhoon. Free certifications

Cons
  • Projects have "lock-ins" so you can't leave or be transferred from another project if it gets toxic.
  • There's this market that has very difficult and problematic clients. Hint: it's in Asia.
  • Employees file their own taxes. How can a huge company not do this for their employees? Even SMEs do it.
  • Employees plot their own holidays, and there are only 13 holidays a year to be plotted. If there are more than 13 holidays in a year, sorry hun, work your a** off haha.
  • I don't like the annual required myLearning training/documentation/quizzes/readings/etc because they take up so much time when we are working on our projects.
Advice to Management

Opposite of the cons, obviously.
