The challengesThe challenges of working for this company is learning new things on your own. Some works are not aligned to the skills and knowledge that you have. I am thankful for this because I have learned a new skill that I didn’t even know that I am capable of doing it. Challenge became an opportunity to test your capability. Our skills are limitless.

MAAP Job Review

The good thingsI was assigned to several different projects that are quite unrelated to each other. This gave me the opportunity to learn a lot more and to push myself further increasing my knowledge while getting paid for it at the same time. Manager was supportive of the projects and assisted especially in terms of hardware.

The challengesI could have been given a transportation allowance. That's it. Going to work seemed tedious because of the transportation expenses I have to shoulder, deducting them from my own salary. Travel fare seems low when seen for a day, but over a period of a month, it goes a lot and takes it toll on my salary which is average by the way, not too low, but also not high.
