Pros

Opportunity to work remotely, which provides flexibility in managing work-life balance. They have an annual team meeting, but only if you manage to stay with the company long enough to attend.

Cons

I worked at this company for a considerable time, and I can confidently say it has become a toxic place to work. Initially, when it was a small company, things were good, and there was a sense of camaraderie and fair treatment. However, as the business grew, the leadership became increasingly greedy and exploitative. The company has a culture of micromanaging employees to the point of suffocation. Managers constantly hover over your work, leaving little room for creativity or independent thought. There is an ongoing practice of hiring and firing employees without much thought, always looking for cheaper replacements. There's no sense of job security, and it's clear that employees are viewed as disposable. Annual salary hikes are non-existent, and any talk of raises is quickly dismissed. They hire talented individuals to set up processes and create documentation — essentially buying out intellectual property for a few months’ salary. Once the work is done, they swiftly replace those employees with cheaper labor from third-world countries. One of the most alarming things is the sheer number of recruiters on their team. At any given time, 25-30% of the total team strength consists of recruiters. This is unlike anything I've seen at any other company. It seems they’re always in a hiring spree, not because they’re growing, but because they’re constantly cycling through employees to cut costs. Overall, the work environment has become exploitative and unsustainable. If you value job security, fair treatment, and a healthy work environment, I would strongly advise against joining this company. It's a revolving door of hires and fires, driven by a pursuit of the cheapest possible labor rather than cultivating a stable and supportive workforce.

Thank you for your feedback. We regret that you have this misconception about PST.AG. Over the past few years, we have transitioned to a global, remote setup to attract talent from diverse locations, a practice common among many companies. However, we hire strictly based on merit through a rigorous selection process and offer our employees the security of permanent contracts. We have no intention of rotating personnel and strive to retain our employees for as long as possible. If dismissals occur, they are for good cause and are never taken lightly. We typically have one or two on-site recruiters who help fill key roles and expand our teams. PST.AG is currently in a growth phase, having increased our personnel by more than 50% in the past year. We now have 55 employees, a significant increase from just five years ago when we had 12 employees. This growth brings new challenges, but we are committed to ensuring the wellbeing of each employee and addressing their needs and expectations. If you would like to discuss your feedback in more detail, please feel free to contact our HR team directly.

Pros

1. If you love writing, this is a dream job, constant updates, reports and explanations are needed to prove you're actually working, since time tracker screenshots and output alone aren't enough. 2. Builds mental endurance, you’ll learn to cope with work insecurity, micromanagement and the fascinating game of office politics. Filipino employees, especially those close to HR or part of the management inner circle, enjoy impressive job security and leniency. 3. Provides excellent perspective, you’ll gain a whole new appreciation for your past and future employers. 4. A true test of patience and professionalism under erratic leadership shifts. 5. A working system will be broken soon after a new lead joins, so enjoy stability while it lasts.

Cons

1. New team leads often arrive with a mission to "shake things up", usually by disrupting well-functioning processes and replacing them with confusion. 2. Constructive suggestions are often viewed as a threat, especially when they come from someone not aligned with the favored group. 3. There's more emphasis on being agreeable than being impactful, obedience is valued far more than innovation. 4. Employees are rewarded based on loyalty to individuals rather than value delivered to the company. 5. Leadership decisions seem detached from ground realities, often trusting selective feedback that serve the messenger more than the message. 6. Favoritism over fairness, politics over process. Political safety nets protect low performers while hardworking employees remain invisible. Value creation takes a back seat to keeping the “right people” happy. 7. The company remains small and stagnant, partly because it refuses to empower those actually driving value. 8. The company cares more about loyalty to individuals than loyalty to the mission or the work. 9. While the CEO is undoubtedly talented, his wife's involvement in HR, particularly her close alignment with certain managers, appears to be driven more by personal alliances and popularity dynamics than by the organization's mission or performance goals. This has contributed to a culture of internal politics, where decisions are often based on personal likability rather than merit or impact.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we regret that your time with us didn’t meet your expectations, we appreciate your contributions over the past two years. It is important to clarify that the company is not stagnant. In fact, we’ve doubled our headcount in the last two years and continue to expand our operations. Growth brings complexity, and we acknowledge that scaling can introduce challenges in leadership transitions, process alignment, and communication. We remain committed to improving how we support our teams through these changes. As a fully remote organization, documentation and visibility are essential—not as a measure of control, but to ensure alignment, accountability, and collaboration across time zones. While your remarks suggest a culture of micromanagement and politics, our goal is to foster transparency and continuous improvement. We witness that our employees are focused on delivering value, not navigating internal dynamics. We take concerns about fairness seriously. Our policies are designed to promote equity, and we do not tolerate favoritism based on location or personal relationships. If any employee feels otherwise, we encourage direct dialogue with HR so concerns can be addressed constructively. Finally, we welcome constructive suggestions—especially those backed by evidence and a spirit of collaboration. While your feedback reflects both a desire for change and skepticism toward innovation, we remain open to ideas that help us serve our customers better and build a stronger workplace. Thank you again for your input.
