Asticom Technology Inc.

Pros: They've got a pretty decent hybrid work model for engineers in the Taguig office, which helps with commuting. Most weeks you can stick to standard hours, which is good for personal time. The team is also pretty supportive.
Cons: However, when projects are due, you'll definitely see some extended hours. It can be tough to maintain that work-life balance in the IT services sector during crunch times. There's pressure to deliver fast.
Advice to Management: Try to manage project timelines better to avoid constant overtime, especially for software engineer roles. More resources during peak periods would really help lessen the burden.

Pros: I've had solid support from my direct manager in my Project Manager role. They really help you grow your technical skills in IT services. It's a stable company, which is nice in this corporate environment.
Cons: Upper management often feels disconnected from daily project work. It's tough when decisions come top-down without much input from the ground. Communication between different departments, especially for our hybrid teams, isn't always smooth.
Advice to Management: Really try to get more feedback from Project Managers and team leads. Improve how different departments talk to each other, especially for the hybrid setup. It'll help everyone feel more engaged in this technology firm.
