Pros: I've really enjoyed my time as a Software Developer here. The team is incredibly supportive, and there's always someone willing to help out or share knowledge, which is great for learning new technologies in the IT services industry. We also have a pretty good work-life balance, which is important for me. The hybrid work setup in Manila is a big plus too, making my commute manageable and offering flexibility.
Cons: While there are definitely learning opportunities, the career progression can sometimes feel a bit slower than I'd like, especially for promotions into more senior Software Developer roles within the BPO setting. Also, we occasionally encounter projects that still rely on older, legacy systems, which can make development a bit more challenging and less efficient. It's not a constant issue, but it does pop up, requiring some patience and adaptation.
Advice to Management: Focus on streamlining the promotion path for experienced developers and consider more regular tech stack updates to keep projects current.
