Overall policies are good but they are often bent for bad reasons. Managers are incapable but they try to harass their reportees as much as possible. Very few people are work focused, more time is spent behind networking and office politics...

There is so much opportunity where you can prove yourself and can be diverse in skills but due to BPO culture don't expect payoffs. The only IT and Administration departments somehow manage corporate culture. Work life balance is good except 6 days working. Overall mangement is good and HR department need to be more concernic about other stuff like timely pay, payslip on time , health insurance rather than arranging activites.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
