    Application Engineer

    Makati City Metro Manila1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Fair enough, and it was a fair experience.
    The good thingsTownhall, some recognition
    The challengesYou will be hired as a regular employee, but if the client’s contract ends, you will only be benched for one month. They will also assure you that they will find or assign you to another client since they have many clients available. However, there was no salary increase after my first year of tenure.

    Benefits & training; access delay, manual time track, job security challenge, vendor-client conflict
    The good thingsInitial salary and benefits; new job opportunities and work experiences; internal trainings (Learning Lab / Udemy); complimentary refreshments; and office setup.
    The challengesAfter joining, necessary access — turnstile or office access — is often delayed. Timesheet entries and leave requests are handled manually, with no automated tools such as Clockify or Jibble. Post-promotion salary adjustments are not immediate. Management tends to prioritize client project delivery over employee well-being, despite promoting open communication. Job security largely depends on client projects and may end within 30 days of project completion. There are no internal initiatives such as classroom-based technical training, collaborative workshops, or hands-on labs to help extend employment while awaiting new assignments. Although Learning Lab and Udemy resources are available, the 30-day notice still applies after the last project ends. Conflicting decisions between client stakeholders and internal management—especially in communication-related roles—may create uncertainty and lead some employees to consider applying directly to the client to avoid vendor-client conflicts.

    Not People Centric - No Job Security
    The good thingsCompetitive Basic Salary
    The challengesNever think for a second that you have a Job Security within this company. If a project ends, the first thing they do is give you a 30-days notice for redundancy instead of finding a role for you in a different project.

    Makati City Metro Manila
    The company offers minimal salary increases and no additional benefits or training, but will match your justified salary request, with tenure dependent on the client.
    The good thingsThe only positive aspect of this company is that they will match your requested salary, provided it is justified.
    The challengesThe salary increase is very minimal, with no additional bonuses or benefits beyond those mandated by the government. Collabera does not provide training or skill development. Your tenure will depend on the client.

    I don’t recommend working here
    The good thingsReal time salary when you get hired and don’t need to wait for a month.
    The challengesNo Decent HMO, they can’t provide you a decent company to work with, they don’t offer in depth training and once you are deployed at your assigned office then you are on your own. HR support lacks proper communication and support, and it they reply slowly whenever you have a question. HR isn’t knowledgeable on what they are doing

    Your perfect company to have your first job experience.
    The good thingsWhat I enjoy about Collabera are my officemates. Despite the lack of compensation and benefits to their employees, the only thing that made me stay in this company is my relationship with my collegues.
    The challengesThe company doesn't pay for overtime time, so I advise you to work only until the office hours. Also, don't expect too much with employee engagement programs as the company isn't employee centric.
