Pros

- good for fresh grads (because they will exploit you) - work from home - provided equipment for those hired prior the pandemic

Cons

- office politics and power tripping is rampant (especially the operations director for Agent Image, Aesha Calado. She'll likely promote you if you're her friend despite not being qualified) - no growth and upskilling - no appraisals and benefits - uses fake licenses for work (OS, adobe, Microsoft office, plugins, etc.) - HR cannot do anything about the office culture and employee complaints because they're not treated as a separate entity, it's as if they're under the operations director. - The company says employee-first but it's full of bullshit-- they would prioritize renovating their Agent Image office in the States instead of providing internet allowance for the employees 1 year after the work-from-home setup (they gave it in the end but it was sooooo delayed). - Mental Health Leave was promised once a month then they changed their minds suddenly (after the announcement!) and did it once a month. - Team Leaders like Davis Faigao and Rachel Narral have no plans of upskilling and force the team to do mediocre work. - Website launches take around 1 year-- very unfair for the clients. - Always want to ride the trend but joins very late and expects profit right away (invested in coworking space and crypto / NFT but had huge losses)
