TDCX

Pros: TDCX offers a supportive environment to start in the CX industry. Leadership is generally helpful, and I've learned a lot about customer service in a diverse team here in Singapore. The company culture is pretty good, and there are learning opportunities to build skills, making it a stable job.
Cons: Workload can get heavy sometimes, impacting work-life balance. Career progression for an entry-level Customer Service Representative can be a bit slow, so you really need to be proactive. Communication could also improve across different project teams.

Advice to Management: They really need to build clearer career paths for junior roles. Invest more in training for internal promotions. Show contact center staff they actually can move up.

Pros: For customer support roles in the BPO industry, the starting pay is pretty decent here. You get basic health benefits too, which is a plus, especially working onsite in the Taguig office.
Cons: Raises are super slow, almost non-existent after your initial training. Don't expect big bonuses or anything extra for good performance; the pay structure is pretty flat.
