    The good thingsWorking closely with the Key Stakeholders such as the owners of the Company and Top Executives to identify new business opportunities, turning insights into actionable strategies.
    The challengesDecentralized processes, legacy systems, and overlapping organizational functions often create friction and recurring roadblocks that slow business innovation and operational optimization.

    The good thingsDuring my tenure, I had the privilege of managing a diverse range of network devices and firewall models, including Cisco ASA, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Checkpoint, and SonicWall, within a highly conducive working environment alongside exceptional colleagues.
    The challengesOne of the notable challenges in this role is the constant need for staying updated and continuously learning about evolving network and security technologies, such as SD-WAN and cloud networks like AWS and GCP, in order to ensure proficiency and effectiveness in managing and securing the network infrastructure.

    Recurring work, not for those who seeks continuous growth. Great environment though
    The good thingsSupportive environment. The people there are willing to help you when you encounter an obstacle and are always approachable.
    The challengesYou need to be a fast learner because if you don't understand what they are trying to explain usually they will just solve the problem for you.

    The good thingsSM Investments Corporation has been awarded for 2 consecutive years as Top Employers in the Philippines. Being one of the largest conglomerates in the country with interest in Retail, Banking, Mall Operations and Property Development - SM Investments Corporation has been an epitome of career advancement, good opportunity and job security.
    The challengesBeing one of the largest conglomerates in the country, we cannot deny the fact that the competition in the industry are very high and that the pool of qualified and tenured candidates are getting stringent and because of this, candidates may simply get off the track and starts to look for a better opportunity because they consider many things like higher pay, HMO coverage, employee engagements and the likes.

    Looking Back
    The good thingsIt is with this company, I would say, where I started to build the career that I have now. I've been exposed to a lot of people, from rank & file employees up to the executive level as one of the payroll processors. I know then that I am in a good position being employed by one of the top employers in the country
    The challengesWe have a list of good employee benefits, though the monthly income I am receiving could not really suffice the bills I need to pay. Not to mention the everyday struggle I need to take as a commuter as the office location is really far from my place
