What’s it like working at Pointwest?

AI summary of recent reviews

Pointwest stands out for its relaxed and flexible working environment that promotes work-life balance, along with a supportive culture characterised by friendly and collaborative colleagues. The company's bootcamp training program is particularly praised for providing a solid foundation for aspiring software engineers, especially those new to the industry.

However, employees note several areas for improvement, including below-average compensation and benefits compared to industry standards. The career progression opportunities can be limited without significant personal initiative, and some employees express concerns about management practices, particularly regarding project assignments and innovation. The three-year employment bond for bootcamp participants and extended notice period are also noted as significant commitments to consider.

Quezon City Metro Manila3 to 4 years in the role, current employee

Overall, my experience was satisfactory. It facilitated my career shift, provided me with valuable project experience, and equipped me with the necessary skills to become a developer. However, I believe I would have remained longer if the company had offered a competitive salary after three years.

The good thingsA great kickstart for a career shift, offering a relaxed working environment and supportive culture.

The challengesThe company has a challenging internal culture, with noticeable influence of office politics on promotions and project assignments. Additionally, the salary is not competitive, and the benefits are minimal.

Good spring board for fresh grads or career shifters if you are okay with the 3 years employment bond worth 6 figures

The good thingsFlexible work arrangement. Good people to work with.

The challenges3 years employment bond for those entering by their boot camp training. 60 days resignation notice. Expect heavy work load and doing tasks outside the job description. Career progression almost impossible without heavy initiative. Salary is not competitive.

Great bootcamp, below competitive salary package

The good thingsThe bootcamp was excellent and a solid foundation for aspiring software engineers (although the quality may have dropped in recent times)

The challengesTraining bond of 3 years leaves you vulnerable to exploitation of a salary way below competitive levels.
