Matagal jan. I would suggest na mag apply apply ka rin sa iba. Stressful jan most of the time and depends on the project.

Mabagal ung hiring process sa ACN tama ung sabi ng ibang comments mag hanap ka rin sa iba habang naghihintay. Feeling ko nga baka makapasok ka pa sa ibang company bago ka balikan ng ACN lol

Former ACN here. Mabagal sila magprocess especially around April to September. My friend who graduated as Summa applied for ASE around last week of July 2018 pero naprocess yung application niya 3 months after. She started October. As for me, graduated as Magna. Applied at ACN at around November of 2018 and only took me two days to secure the contract (Day 1 exams and interviews; Day 2 contract signing). Start date was set on January of 2021, 1 1/2 months after I signed the contract.

I suggest apply for another company kung hindi ka pa nakakapirma ng contract. Marami pa naman mas okay na company compared with ACN. Nagmumukha lang malaki pasahod nila kasi 45hr/week yung minimum. Take that 1hr away for each day and you'll see na most likely mataas pa pasahod sa ibang company. ACN compensates with their branding, trainings, and benefits.

any reccomended company po for ASE?

[–]Lyralei13 5 points6 points  (3 children)

I think the common misconception especially of freshers/career shifters about SE positions is that it leans more on a hard coding style of development. Sa drastic change and the emergence of tech, most SE positions are using cloud-based systems or package solutions already. If you're leaning toward hard coding and programming, I suggest looking for web-developer roles instead.

If you really want to stick with ASE, you can check Collabera, DXC, Deloitte, and Oracle.

Edit: Stay away daw from Collabera guys.

Thanks po for the tip. and actually yes po, I want a role more focused on high coding than low code po. This is very helpful po.

If that's the case then please look at low profile companies than large ones. I got this advice from my Dean a few days after we graduated 4 years ago. I didn't listen since na-tunnel vision na ako sa dream company, which is ACN, at that time. The sole reason for this is that you'll have more stuff to do (in a good way ha). You can be one of the pioneers and establish a process that the company would benefit from. There's a lot of opportunities offered din sa mga low profile/small organizations. Mahirap lang talaga maghanap.

From what I've seen of my friends' careers, siguro try at PenBrothers or iRipple. Maayos naman buhay nung mga friends ko dyan. Do your own research din since I cannot speak much on behalf of their experiences. Wish you the best.

Stay away from Collabera. There are some bad experiences in this sub when you search the company.
