    Sales and Marketing Associate
    Feb 2025
    Pasig City Metro Manila1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    A modern mid-sized tech company that compensates above-average rates and a Russian-Roullette effect on your career based on which top level executive you will be reporting to. Good to start and maintain your career in IT department, but highly volatile for the others (eg. HR, Sales, Marketing, Admin)
    The good thingsModern style workspace, relatively okay colleagues, hybrid set-up that respects your days off, and above market compensation.
    The challengesManagement is erratic and does not have a consistent vision for the business. A few top level executives are taskmasters will micromanage you for every tiny detail, much more so when your vision and output does not align with theirs. Also, be wary of sudden "P.I.P." provisions, and there's no bonus.

    Good company to hone your technical abilities
    The good thingsResults-based. Software development team is independent and can work at their own pace. Management tries their best to align personal interest with the assignment of projects. There are some benefits that are not available in other companies. People are approachable and easy to collaborate with.
    The challengesSalary increase is really hard to negotiate, but if you resign, they would give you a counteroffer. There can be multiple project assignments and it would not mean you will get salary increase or overtime pay e.g. 25% capacity for Project A, 75% capacity for Project B. This might not be good for some.

    Work and Learn at the same time
    The good thingsI always tell myself that I am in good hands with Exist. I love what I do. Work means effort and it is all good when you are properly compensated. Benefits are acceptable compared to having no benefits at all but yes, can still be improved.
    The challengesHaving new projects that are very new to you needs R&D but this is good challenge because it will mean additional knowledge/expertise in the long run. Benefits can still be improved.

    Great team to work with, some micro politics but only on the higher levels.
    The good thingsPretty lax as an IT company but the higher management are so easy to approach. Managers will be able to provide what you might want as part of the team. Communication helps career growth.
    The challengesSalary might be not that high but all is fun because of great officemates.
