Pros

Given the right immediate supervisor and teammates, GCash is a nice place to grow in your professional career and learn from the people around you GCash is also very flexible with time as it is mostly output-based work Majority of the people are friendly, and it is easy to ask for questions or guidance I've also had the opportunity to move around to different teams/departments, given the direction I wanted to grow in. GCash is also flexible with this as well. Lastly, the benefits are really great. I don't believe you'll find bonuses and allowances this high anywhere else locally.

Cons

The biggest downside to GCash are the politics, especially among the bosses Visible people (who don't necessarily do the work or have quality outputs) are the ones who get promoted, vs. people who produce quality work but are less visible Depending on your immediate supervisor and your relationship with him/her, this will affect your growth & grading, compensations (i.e. bonus) & promotions This also fosters mediocre work or lazy people, since promotions can be purely relational GCash is also more likely to give a much higher salary to incoming hires with experience, vs. home-grown talent that have been in GCash for years. As an Analyst, the custom data platform that is being used is very limiting. The analysis and data visualization are on different platforms, and GCash's chosen platforms are not as advanced as how fast the business is growing. Lastly, the HR team is very subpar when it comes to hiring. As someone who has needed to hire a one-down, and as someone who has referred friends to the company, the team that hires new employees works extremely slow, needs to be followed up with multiple times, responds after over 3-5 working days or does not respond at all, seem to always be on leave, and overall do not seem to care about the applicants' time or effort. Good luck to anyone hoping to get into GCash because the timelines from sending in a resume (even through a referrer) til receiving a job offer will take forever, if HR even gets back to its applicants.

Pros

At scale, the company has robust HR and finance systems. You can join a variety of activities. Work schedules and locations are flexible. Compensation is competitive, with strong bonus opportunities.

Cons

Disorganized and image-driven, with a focus on awards, taking credit, showy behavior, and ingratiation. Many leaders/managers lack technical expertise and favor manual policies over technological fixes, which creates heavy bureaucracy. Leadership practices are outdated and exhibit many harmful traits: large power gaps, HIPPO, special treatment for certain people, leaders who avoid accountability, condescending behavior, a culture of blame and public shaming, micromanagement, and inappropriate language in meetings — overall a very unhealthy work environment. The frenetic pace is largely self-imposed and stems from poor planning at the management level rather than industry demands.
