    Very Toxic Management
    The good thingsThe free lunch and easy-going teammates. My teammates were so great.
    The challengesIN MY EXPERIENCE MANAGEMENT TELLS YOU THAT THEY ARE OPEN TO COMPLAINTS BUT DOESN'T ACTUALLY LISTEN TO YOU. Management doesn't understand the basics of an IT company. Even if how good you are at your work and how efficient you are, they will always want to see a "Pakitang Tao" rather than an efficient worker.

    A good place to work in if you are all about meeting expectations
    The good thingsThey do well enough to respect your choices (sometimes) and will cater to you provided it is related to your work and the efficiency of the team (emphasis on team) There are benefits (ish) and opportunities to be had (if they can offer it and quite rare depending on your capabilities and your primacy as an asset to them)
    The challengesMost times they want you to work like those big companys with their "Go-Go" team effort culture but in reality it's just as much a quota and results driven company and some people have been 'encouraged' to resign due to some missed expectations or disagreements (that's just as much as I know from what I hear anyways). I got no qualms that they haven't forced me to do something beyond my job description (yet) but they do try to see that you have that 'drive' to want to try something new before you join in (this was asked of me during my job interview) so there's a bit of pressure there when they see the need that you've got to try something new some of these days (and believe me it may even happen along your evaluation). And there are more opportunities to be had "if" you are a software dev or can develop an app or project the company can invest and grow to become an asset (It is a software dev company after all). So far that's all I can say from the perspective of a video editor and animator in their marketing department. It's no big shot media production firm but it's quite capable and functions just as much as one... except it's priorities are towards software and app development. If you are production centered and prefer to focus on what you do within your capacity (as a video editor/animator), this company is for you. But if you are an avant-garde, outside the box, experimental, passion driven film maker, you've got to look elsewhere. You're pretty much stuck doing the same thing for various clients over and over and over and over again. You've got to be persevering to do this monotonous task (because the client just wants you to do what other people do) all while forcing your creative juices to kill your creative block in an environment no different from a cubicle space for data analysis and writing (because such an environment doesn't need inspiration to do monotonous tasks). The best time for me working with the company was working from home because I brought my laptop where ever I went to inspire me when doing videos (cuz at the office, you can't even turn on youtube in your office unit 'if' it doesn't relate to research of material or the project you are working. So if you are going to watch a music video for graphics inspiration... THAT is out of the question). When you start at the company, they tell you it's fine to watch and do videos in the office unit... but the longer you stay you realize your unit is specifically for work, not inspiration

    Terrible management.
    The good thingsThey have nice free meals every working days.
    The challengesYou don't have a voice to suggest good ideas to share to your team leads. They always thinks they were right even their ideas makes your work experience a terrible one. For short, puro sila mga tila lubot / sipsip sa management.

    A place for innovation
    The good thingsGreat Benefits , working environment and great room for improvement. Positive and great amount of perks for employees to enjoy. Work life balance, initially it was okay but the longer you are with the company. Great employees tend to work more than to have a life. Owner is one awesome and cool guy.
    The challengesCompany really really needs to work on their improvement on Employer - Employee relationship. Company needs to work on both sides of the story or due process to improve employee relationship to companies interest. Would definitely recommend better management on the projects to be handled (still a working progress)
