Svantaggi
– Recently had cost cutting, delayed salaries, layoffs, and a pause on monthly bonuses/profit-sharing for at least 11 months. – The salary structure for PH employees is based on local industry rates, which may not be as competitive as some would expect from a US company. – Only 10 vacation leaves and 5 sick leaves – The HMO coverage could be improved to align with the standards set by other PH companies. – The company has a comprehensive time-tracking system that requires employees to log time for all their tasks, meetings, and administrative activities, which some may find excessive. – Those who are client-facing (US timezone) have higher chances of getting recognized and promoted. – There have been instances where promises made by the CEO, such as US work visas for PH employees, company shares, and on-time salaries, were not fulfilled, leading to eroded trust among employees. – Top management's hands-on approach in all departments may lead to micromanagement and hinder employee autonomy, as decisions are sometimes made without input from relevant teams. As they are the decision-makers in all departments, this leads to bottlenecks, employees that are uninformed of the decisions made, and duplicate work. – The company's exploration of new business ventures, while dealing with existing challenges, raises concerns about prioritization.
