    Good experience in IT industry but don't stay long.
    The good thingsI was deployed to their client and sister company. The only good thing I can remember from this company is the people I've worked with and the exposure to thinkpad laptops where some are not even released i the market. It is a good stepping stone if you want to gain experience because you will learn more about quality assurance in IT industry but don't stay long.
    The challengesManagement is bad. I feel like the company doesn't even care for its employees. Manpower in each team is few that's why when there are projects, the delegation of workload is very heavy. Most of the times you will need to render OT everyday and even weekends due to heavy workload. Thus, you will not even be compensated enough for your hard work due to very low salary. Also, there are no other benefits except that low salary.

    Good stepping stone for entering IT field but expect minimum wage
    The good thingsThe management is good. They can handle the needs of their contractors. They give some tips on how to ace the training to the company where their resources will be deployed. Their facility is good as well. The staff are nice and very warm to their visitors. This could be a stepping stone to those who wants to start their career in IT field but be patient and stick first to low salary.
    The challengesThe things that I really dislike is low salary which is minimum. It's not enough to sustain your daily needs especially if you are the breadwinner of the family. Secondly, if you will get sick, going to a vacation, or having an emergency, it's not paid. There is no salary increase as well. You will only get a food allowance if you accept the contract extension.

    Why Alsons?
    The good thingsWell to be honest it really helps me a lot gain a Software Quality Engineer experience because most of the big companies requires job experience. This agency is good for fresh start for fresh graduates. Tiis ka lang ng 1 year. And mahirap talagang makapasok sa Accenture Philippines pero matutulungan ka ng company neto bilang contractor :)
    The challengesMinimum wage, no work no pay, Matataray na HR (Not all), walang health benefits, walang leaves kahit Emergency man lang o sick leave. May salary increase after 1 year... 1500 na rice allowance. HAHAHA

    A good career start-up but with low salary
    The good thingsYou get to have the opportunity to work with a renowned IT company like Accenture. You get at least a year worth of experience if you're entering a position for the company as an employee. If you are aiming to get work experience rather than the salary, the company will provide a way to start up your career.
    The challengesEven though it provides good opportunities, the fact that you receive minimum wage salary is a let down. You may get overworked yet underpaid depending on the project you work with. The limited benefits can also demotivate you if you're working just for the salary. You also get no paid leaves hence, you will not be paid for the day when you file a sick leave, vacation leave, etc. You will, however, get those benefits when you decide to extend your contract for another year. But you would rather have the benefits as a direct employee rather as a contractor.

    The good thingsif you're a Fresh Graduate i Strongly recommend this Company Because they will give you a very good Training and work Experience.
