Pros

Mostly, there is a good working environment and its benefits:

  • Savings fund
  • Pension fund
  • Savings bank
  • Monthly vouchers
  • English
  • Resources to train you such as Udemy, O'Reilly, etc.
Cons

The salary, truly, is among the lowest on the market, incredibly so for a global company.

Added to this, their management of bands to be able to increase salary is truly exhaustive; it's not clear, and coupled with managers not being clear to understand the process and grow, it makes it truly impossible. I've been here for 3 years and have only had annual adjustments of about 700 pesos.

Currently, I've been in a role superior to Tech Lead for a year, and I'm only given excuses as to why they can't give me a raise or a band change.

It seems they want you to do the work, and in the process, wear you out so you leave the company and are replaced by someone else for the same salary, thus the constant cycle.

Advice to Management

Que realmente pongan atención al crecimiento de sus empleados y no solo en cuestión de roles, sino que clarifiquen el proceso de cambio de bandas para aumentar salarialmente, ya que suelen dar incrementos de rol sin aumento de sueldo.
