CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Catered Lunches and Hybrid 2 WFH and 3 in the office each week

Cons

Leadership is a mess with little to no coordination, local offices are very friendly and accommodating. Lay offs will happen sooner or later to save the shareholders.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary, the greatest benefit I have encountered after 8 years of working in BPO. Literally, work-life balance since you wouldn’t even feel you’re working due to light workload

Cons

I feel external hire managers is the only con since we deeply rely on process and internal hired managers really know the process

Business Outlook

Pros

Mission-driven company with a strong focus on financial inclusion and supporting immigrants. Colleagues are collaborative, empathetic, and genuinely care about the customers and each other. Leadership emphasizes diversity, equity, and inclusion, and those values show up in the day-to-day.

Cons

Rapid growth can sometimes lead to organizational silos and shifting priorities. Some teams experience workload spikes that affect balance and long-term planning. Career development paths could be clearer, especially for mid-level employees.
