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)

Pros

High degree of operational flexibility enabling excellent work-life balance. Culture is defined by a highly collaborative, supportive, and dependable team.

Cons

Opaque career trajectory and stagnant professional advancement. Compensation structures fall demonstrably below industry market standards. Operational efficacy is severely compromised by fragmented institutional systems and highly redundant procedural workflows. Absent objective structural frameworks, management practices remain arbitrary, reinforcing a rigid, top-down leadership paradigm.
