[yabbikins]

Hello mga sis, can yiu share your experiences in working for a Regional Operations Head Quarters like Chase, JP Morgan, Citi Shared, DKS etc? I think most of them are back end jobs. Im being head hunted for one kasi. thanks in advance!

i work for an ROHQ but it's not one of the companies you've listed.

the only perk i see - 15% tax!

my husband works for an ROHQ but the tax break only applies for certain levels/positions

[yabbikins]

I didnt accept it na rin

[clueless]

^^ yes, may certain criteria that one has to meet to qualify for 15% tax, such as x amount annual salary, position/level, technical skills, etc.

sa citi, sabi ng isang manager sakin: haggard ang work environment. madalas overtime pero you're well-compensated naman. it's back-office btw.

the ending: i didn't accept the job. i want a work-life balance.

me too. hindi ko inaccept

I'm working in a ROHQ of the biggest Autralian Telco.  How is it?  Hmmmm... flexi time with work from home option, way above industry compen, and Australians are easier to deal with (compared to Indians, Americans and Chinese) BUT the down side is 'reverse discrimination' from kapwa pinoy staff. (Good thing I can manage it) Other than the downside, everything is rosy in my corporate life.

^ anong company yan sis?

[pressany]

We're not allowed to post it here but it is "the biggest and oldest" Australian telephone company in Australia and New Zealand and we are moving into asian market.

[freelancer]

^are you based here in manila?

@dashee
Di ba magkaiba ang ROHQ sa IT-BPO and CC-BPO?

Kung toxic pa rin dyan, anong klaseng company lang merong work-life balance?

nyahaha let me guess ANZ i recently accepted an offer from citi. toxic talaga sa financial institution... pero gusto ko pa din dun.

[mhitchy]

hmmm not sure if telco ang ANZ? pero sana reveal ni sis pressany ang company. hehe

[purple_girl]

anz? di ba bank yun? could it be telus?

[chihirosen]

bka telstra sis

[purple_girl]

^ay... oo nga... telstra pala... lagi akong naco-confuse sa dalawa. hehe...

I work for ROHQ but not a BPO company. Compensation is good, some people has the 15% tax benefit, semi-flexi working time and offers compensatory day off if managers render OT. Rank and file OT are paid. For business trips, our allowance is in the home currency of our HQ. Nakakaipon talaga. hehe..

Stressful magwork sa Citi and sa JPMorgan.

A relative works for an Australian company dito sa Manila, and ang feedback niya e katulad ng sabi ni sis pressany, mas madali nga daw ka-interact ang Australians, mas mabait.

15% tax in rohq really makes a difference. Instead na mapunta sa mga corrupt officials eh sa employees na lang.
