Pros

Working in the front offices at the countries is definitely I enjoyed for over a year back in 2007 and for a short period again back in 2013. However, working in their Shared Service Centre in Manila has been probably one of the toughest things I've had to do work-wise. Totally different with regards to the offices in each country: environment, teamwork, compensation and many other aspects are completely embarrassing when compared to their counterparts in the local offices

Cons

Aside from the mentioned above, unfortunately Philippines currently has one of the highest tax rates in Asia (and the world for that matter) at a ridiculous 32% on personal income. To that, you have to consider the 12% charged on every single product you buy and sometimes and additional 10% for other services (entertainment, etc), You definitely have to make a good deal before you sign your contract since the annual increases range from a merger 6% to (in the best of cases) a 12%. If you didn't negotiate a good entry salary since the beginning, you will have a hard time year after year seeing how others are making a whole lot more money than you do and probable working far less than you do.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
