Pros

Trainings, bootcamps, and certifications are good for fresh graduates. They can lead to fast promotions, regular brownbags, and fast responses on other needs, like troubleshooting of workstation issues.

Cons
  • 9 regular work hours.
  • Frequent overtime, especially for software development projects; sometimes no OT pay.
  • 10 holidays only per year. You can avail 2 more holidays, but you have to seek approval before availing.
  • Low compensation, even though promotions are fast.
  • Low annual increase.
  • Low promotion increase.
  • Poor work-life balance.
  • Slow PCs.
Advice to Management

Promote work-life balance. Make the working hours 8 hours and implement holidays properly. Remove the non-mandatory and elective holiday classification.
