What is the hiring process like at Bizmates?

Their hiring process became much easier than before because they are severely understaffed due to high turnover and want to exploit more trainers with low labor costs.

1) You have to file and pay your own taxes - the owner wants to make the most out of company profit so as part of their cost-cutting, they don't hire accountants to specifically deal with our tax matters, they let the trainer do it. 2) They constantly find ways to raise the bar and make it difficult for trainers to meet those standards ( KPI ) but I understand that's normal for any company, but this company takes it to an extreme level. There is no room for mistake, you must do it right if you don't wanna get whiplashed. Talk about modern-day slavery. 3) They hold these yearly events where trainers can get together and enjoy a simple meal while watching a performance, imagine the company spending heaps of money on talent fees and whatnot instead of increasing the trainer's wages. 4) They hold yearly gatherings as a way of saying " Thank you " to their hardworking trainers, they invest a little bit of money on food, props, and recently talent. Makes me wonder why don't they just invest that in trainer's wages. Of course the CEO would argue " But we have raffle draws and give out bonuses on Christmas! " Yes indeed, but in order to qualify for said raffle draws / bonuses, the trainer would have to bust their chops ( For instance, 10 lessons = 1 entry ] to qualify for, by the way, a rigged event ( They prioritize giving awards to new hires ]. 5) They claim to be the highest paying company in the industry, They pay you 75 pesos per class ( Peanuts by the way ) and tell their trainers they should be grateful for that 75 pesos. Yet you have companies like italki who let you set your rate based on what you think your value is. 6) The CEO is starting his YouTube channel in preparation for what is to come, he realizes that he is losing all his genuine talent so he makes the hiring process cheap so that he can have more mediocre talent come in. If students are not happy with the quality of lessons, I guess they have a YouTube channel to watch? 7) Don't be fooled by the "promotion opportunities" with this company, They tie you down to fixed rates which are way lower than what you would earn as a trainer and sugarcoat it with " You're part of the management now, you won't have to talk to students that much! So in summary, I don't really have anything good to say to this company aside from the fact that if you are really desperate to find a job and have no other options, this can be a last resort for you. No hate. Just being honest.

1. Working with PH Colleagues is okay 2. They provide Laptops 3. They provide Online trainings

1. They always say they don't have budget, but they have budget for other things 2. Salary isn't that much competitive (They always barge the PH applicants with the bare minimum salary, benefits (1 HMO with 1 dependent but shared), minimum leaves 3. They promote manager/s that lacks knowledge about the system, process, and makes bad decisions that makes the outcome so ugly. 4. Do not fall for the clickbait, they don't have honest description of the job you are going to work with. Exam will be Laravel and Vue but on your first day, they will give you an existing system that is powered by FuelPhP which is an old stack 5. Management don't look for their people, they always think that their people are still in good condition, but in reality many people want to quit because of the indecisiveness of Japan people to change the process. 6. If you don't have a project, you will be in the DevOps, which is not your total job, and it is not what you think. The actual work of DevOps here is to answer customers concern, you are like working in the Customer Service Field 7. Japan IT team thinks they are highly intelligent persons compare to the PH Team, but when you talk about the processes, PH team has a lot more to offer compare to them, 8. They always say that those who are good with collaborating with japan has a lot more opportunity compare to those who don't. 9. Their systems are like a work of freelancers, no coding standards, no SOLID Principles, no strict coding implementation from the Japan Team. (low standard) 10. No documentation (Red Flag, PH Team are always the one who do the documentations whenever a new system is incoming) 11. Some of the managers don't attend DSM, they do but they still require huddle from the team to know the status (in short, they dont listen), even the complaints of their people. they don't even listen. Meetings are exhausting, everyday we are required to complete the JIRA board and they still require the team leads to give them the weekly report, they can even just look on the jira board and confluence. 12. UX and UI of Applicant portal really sucks, some of the PH Devs suggested to revamp/innovate it but no luck, they always add features and is not meticulous with the user experience with the website 13. They provide online trainings, but it will not be useful on your current project, maybe on your next company, it will be useful 14. Not very resourceful with the people they hire - Japan team always look for the outsource developers when in fact many of PH dev members dont have projects and still on standby, they always think they lack resources when in fact there are a lot of devs there. (Red Flag) 15. If you are not cooperative, other devs will replace you because the owner always say "The people who can collaborate with Japan has a lot more opportunity"

1. Flexible working hours. Just a minimum of 10 hrs required per week. 2. Payout schedule is generally reliable provided you submit your Sales Invoice on time. 3. They provide teaching materials so no need to create your own. 4. It's relatively easy to get student bookings.

1. Hasn't increased their rates for more than 10 years 2. Pay grade is based on a KPI system that isn't 100% transparent, can be manipulated by the company, and is subject to the student's tendency to give high or conservative trainer ratings. 3. Too many rules for such little pay. You'll only earn well if you teach many hours. Other platforms offer better rates. 4. Management claims it's open to trainer feedback but rarely acts on them and always prioritizes students and company profit. Trainer welfare comes last. 5. Management style is generally conservative and not progressive.
