Pros
1. Inclusive and open culture: The team, made up of both Filipino and expat employees who are “Pinoy at heart,” fosters a culture of warm and openness where everyone’s voice is heard. 2. Flexible work arrangements: Employees are recommended to work on-site 3x a week, but the focus is on delivering results rather than rigid work schedules. 3. Competitive packages: The management offers healthy employee compensation plans. 4. Strong industry connections: Employees often attend local and international FinTech events. 5. Proactive work environment: As a growing team, employees are encouraged to take initiative and be proactive. 6. Celebration of success: Company and individual achievements are regularly celebrated with team lunches or night-outs. 7. Global expansion opportunities: The company has been recently acquired. This has allowed us to enter the Indonesian market, with plans of expanding into other foreign markets.
Cons
1. Highly technical products: The credit scoring and fraud prevention products can be overwhelming for those with no prior experience, though these are learnable with effort. 2. High pressure in Sales and Tech departments and limited financial support in others 3. Requires self-motivation: The work-at-your-own-pace setup means there’s no micromanagement, so employees need to be highly self-driven to meet deadlines and report results. 4. Limited managerial oversight: While some may enjoy the independence, those needing more guidance or structure might find the lack of close management challenging. Though all managers have shown to be very accommodating and helpful if approached!
