Pros: The base salary for a Software Engineer here is pretty decent compared to other local fintech startups in the Manila office. They also offer health benefits from day one, which is a big plus in the Philippines. It's a solid starting point for those looking to get into payment processing.
Cons: Raises aren't very frequent for engineering roles, and bonuses feel like a rare event. The current benefit package, besides health, is pretty standard and doesn't improve much with tenure in this startup environment. You'll find better long-term total compensation paths elsewhere.
Advice to Management: Look into making compensation reviews more regular and transparent. A clearer path for salary growth and more comprehensive benefits would really help retain talent, especially for senior engineering roles.
