Inside look at IT: What it’s like working in the thriving industry
While many believe it is too idealistic to have a good
workplace culture and great compensation, many jobseekers greatly consider
these two factors when applying for a job, according to two studies. The 2021
Employee Experience Survey by Willis Towers Watson reported that 89% of
respondents believe a positive employee experience is a key driver of
engagement, while a 2023 survey from online recruitment platform JobStreet
found that 53% of Filipino job seekers would like to know the salary range
offered while still in the recruitment process.
Aside from great benefits and compensation, employees in the IT industry pointed out that a good work culture and environment as well as training programs are the top priorities of jobseekers.
Lesther, who specializes in securing networks from
vulnerabilities, noted that training programs are important as trends are
continuously evolving and IT professionals need to keep up in order to be
efficient. Steph, a software solutions engineer, echoed this, adding that since
the industry is highly competitive and fast-paced, getting equipped with the
right skills and knowledge is important. Grace, a malware researcher, said that
one advantage in the IT field is that since it’s a broad industry, there is
always so much to learn and room for improvement.

Yondu, the top IT solutions company wholly owned by Globe,
offers all of these—great benefits and compensation, a good working
environment, and training programs to Yondudes, a nickname for its
employees.
Competitive pay and benefits are not a problem for Yondu as
the company ensures this through regular benchmarking of market data and best
practices. There are also tailor-fitted rewards programs according to talent
segments.
Yondu also ensures their employees remain competitive and
well-equipped by industry standards through a variety of training, reskilling
and upskilling programs offered to hone their skills in the constantly changing
tech industry. Despite the fast-paced sector continuously evolving, Yondu still
values work-life balance and offers programs to further support Yondudes’
well-being.
Vanessa Liwanag, Business Development Director at Yondu,
acknowledged the company’s role in her growth, “Yondu has helped me develop my
leadership, decision-making, and communication skills through its effective
leadership training programs. The company also helped me grow personally
because of its hybrid setup. This allows me to have a work-life balance. I can
still take care of my family and my health while simultaneously contributing to
the organization.”
“What sets Yondu apart from other organizations is its
genuine focus on understanding and supporting its employees,” said Javen Babac,
Lead Application Support Specialist at Yondu. “The company recognizes that
employees perform their best when they feel valued and supported, and this
philosophy sets Yondu apart by fostering a positive and inclusive work
environment. The organization's commitment to understanding its employees and
