Pros

Benefits are slightly above the average (i.e. on leaves, HMO, optical allowance, stock discounts, etc.) "Flexi Time"-ish setup Relaxed dress code Above average pay for fresh grads. But slow pay increase.

Cons

Management doesn't understand or refuses to understand the importance of having legacy systems to have unit tests. Highly specialized field but the training and support for learning is left unto the employee. Very lenient on employees with attitude problem. Too much adherence to "SCRUM" when its not really effective cause of culture here in PH. I think the SCRUM method is developed with the Western culture in mind.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
