    Looking back, I'm honestly not sure why I stayed with this company for so long. I've had other opportunities, and in hindsight, I should’ve pursued them earlier. It’s disappointing to realize how much I tolerated, especially when employee voices were often ignored in favor of client demands.
    The good thingsGood things are your co-workers on the same company but not on the project that you will be assigned to.
    The challengesDon't do any extended efforts as it will not be appreciated. Salary is too low compared to other companies. Too many superiors/bosses. This company is Client-biased (They will not listen to your concern, instead they will tell you to just agree and apologize to the bosses of the company's clients) No career growth for Career Level 1. (There are no workshops or certifications)

    Good Vibes, Great People, and Constructive Challenges
    The good thingsThe hiring process was smooth and professional, with interviewers who were approachable and easy to talk to. The company offers excellent opportunities for upskilling and exposure to diverse roles. While some projects can be demanding, the leadership team is consistently supportive and encouraging.
    The challengesExpectations are high, which can be demanding—but they also push you to bring out your best and develop professionally.

    Good company to work with, but you better be on your toes if the project (or project manager) doesn't favor you.
    The good thingsGood colleagues, mostly good projects, work from home arrangements.
    The challengesTwo encounters from a certain project manager is putting an end to my mental health. Berated me first for being "slow on the job". The second time just punished me for "lacking skills", then started demanding lots, and whenever I present something, called me to "stop wasting my time".

    Good internal management, not so good clients
    The good thingsManagement is supportive in career growth because of the trainings and certifications provided. Furthermore, bosses are considerate and output-oriented.
    The challengesAlthough there is an avenue for upskilling, learned skills cannot be necessarily applied to the real work as project needs are still entirely up to the clients. Additionally, some local clients can be extremely demanding (I experienced working on weekends).

    Had a blast working here BUUUUUT…..
    The good thingsDuring my time, I enjoyed working here. Supportive Manager, project team and people on my department. The clients that the projects that I worked with are supportive and understanding. They are open to your suggestions and they are even the ones who will tell you to log out and rest.
    The challengesTalking or getting information from HR. You sent a message, you’re lucky to have A response in < 1 hour. If you are not lucky, try asking again on the next day.

    Great Work Environment
    The good thingsI've been with a great team and great work environment. Easy to ask for a help even to those people outside the project. Provide bootcamp and training to those in needs. They help you achieve your goal.
    The challengesLow salary and not that much benefits. Handling multiple project at once can be stressful.

    1 to 2 years in the role
    Good company for experienced people
    The good thingsManagers and leads are great and easy to reach out to. Teammates are easy to talk to. You can expect support if you're unfamiliar with task. Self-training materials are provided. You can maximize the GMeet used by the company and simulate an office-environment if you like so you can feel less lonely.
    The challengesYou are a full-time employee, but the projects are more contract-based. Most projects last only 3-6 months. When on bench, you'll still receive a full salary so its alright. Some clients can be stressful, especially the bank that recently got hacked.

    Lots of Training
    The good thingsYou will learn a lot of things whether you like it or not. They will challenge you and they will help you with it. They will back you up from the clients. They have a healthy company with lots of events and food and of course, great co-worker!
    The challenges1.Projects are only short but very meaningful work. 2. Workplace is a little bit crowded and very cold (sometimes) 3. They like to hire fresh graduates which adds the workload of the seniors to train them.

    Bad Management, Iffy Methodology and No Work/Life Balance
    The good thingsThe technology and projects are geared towards mobile which is very exciting. Good, hardworking staff.
    The challengesManagement always bends towards the wants of the client, then blames it on their people when everything blows up. From waterfall model, they change it midstream to a version of agile when the client wants to make changes (This never works by the way). People are forced to do unbelievable amounts of overtime. Had a horrendous time here. You work in a basement of the building.
