-Once an equal opportunity employer, it is now preferring to employ those coming from Big 4 universities in the Philippines and further promotion. This mostly happen in HQ. I cannot speak for those hired at sites.
-Compensation is not calibrated. Some of the employees who have been hired longer have the same salary with newly-hired employees, even of the same rank. Newly-hired coming from big 4 universities there are also ++ in base pay.
-Few groups are mature enough to accept actions whether other or their own department had problem. But most of the time, most groups have old ways ingrained in them - putting 'shits' whenever problem arises, keeping their hands off, expecting other group will pick it up for them - despite the efforts of the top management to change it at least.
-Bureaucracy still persists.
-Fairness, which is part of company core values, is not practiced.
-There were times before that employees are informed that a section/department will be dissolved on a very short notice (as in less than a working week) and transferred without their consent. Worst, the transfer papers are delayed by months even a year by the catching group.
-In spite of great efforts in searching viability, technological improvement is neither embraced nor accepted by many, even those who have technical knowledge. Further, technological development is not part of the company's drive for sustainable growth.
