Pros

Good enough pay for Manila

Cons

Avoid Emma if you're a fresh grad - there's a problematic lack of proper leadership and people development. Turnover rates are really high and people come and go really quickly. Culture is toxic, it isn't a safe place to make mistakes, and people are pit against each other. There is no opportunity to upskill or develop as a professional, C-Levels are uninvolved and hands-off for markets that are developing, and are genuinely unaware of the bad, hostile behavior of their managers

Pros

If you like the work hard/play hard culture, this place is for you

Cons

This company had so many concerning practices. It is a revolving door and employees come and go at a concerning rate. There is no work life balance, so be prepared to work 12 hour days and get horrified looks if you have anything else that is a priority in your life. Employees did not have any form of goals or objectives, so evaluations, raises and promotions were simply based on how people felt about you, not your measured performance. There is little to no discussion or investment in employees, their growth and development (besides them funding attendance of trainings). They say they value diversity, but don’t practice it internally. Only entry level is diverse, after that diversity reduces drastically with each level that goes up, leaving you with an all white, male, German speaking C level. Finally, this company does some ethically questionable things.

Pros

Nice co-workers and sometimes parties on friday

Cons

- high stress level - no learning curve (which is one of their main points as "start-up") - mainly fire-fighing - you might get unattainable goals that you have to solve - very low salary - no other benefits - mostly men in high positions - exploitation of foreign employees (Asia)
