Vantaggi
Applicable to IT Engineering Dept only: - Great benefits package (life insurance, multiple cash allowances, hmo, 14th month pay and annual increase on April) - Most projects are exciting; Latest technologies are used - Salary is quite decent especially if you are a new hire - WP office in BGC has good ambiance. No permanent seat during hybrid mode but you get to use wide curved screen monitors. Workstations give you a lot of personal space. - Hybrid mode (for IT Engineering, we are only required to report at the office 2-3x a month as of Nov 2022) - Macbook Pro issued for prev hires. I think late 2022 hires are issued Windows laptops (HP / Dell afaik) - Good employee engagement. Many non-work activities and clubs to join. IT Engineering dept on its own also has good employee engagement. - New building (One Ayala Tower along Ayala Ave) has excellent location and seems to have great amenities and facilities. - Opportunities for international assignments (business trips or direct hire)
Svantaggi
- Very little annual salary increase (5%-8%). Even the seniors who were recently promoted to Leads only received 5%-8% increase. - Little opportunity for career progression for Senior Engineers. You cannot be promoted as Squad Lead / Tech Lead unless there is an opening (and you still need to apply for the said roles) - 14th month salary is not guaranteed. May be removed in the coming years depending on ING's discretion - Lockers/bins not provided to employees hired during the pandemic
