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

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
