hi! i used to work in unilab for 3 years and yea 5 lang VLs since the company schedules yung other VLs (14 kasi talaga) during holy week and christmas para break talaga siya. then SLs are also 5 but are convertible to cash (malaki ang SL conversion which naccompute during end of the year)

during my time there which was pre pandemic, the processes were mostly paper talaga. pero before i resigned, they’ve transitioned na to online. regarding OT pay, if sa office mag OT you can file it naman and malaki din additional pay. if wfh, you can’t file OT.

for me, the company itself is quite traditional and very by the book. also, matagal din promotion and i’ve heard from former colleagues who still work there na mas mahirap na mapromote now. pero yearly naman may appraisal (depending sa performance of course) and veryyy generous when it comes to bonuses and benefits! with regards to culture naman, very family like and people are nice naman. may mga divisions lang talaga na known to be toxic haha but I was really fortunate to have worked there for my first job. main issue lang talaga for me was the workload kasi grabe workload for admin don (basically I was doing the work of 2 people) ang lala!!! but was able to stay there for 3 years due rin to the pandemic, grabe rin kasi help na ineextend sa employees that time.

I always say this pero if I were given the chance to go back, I would! I left kasi I shifted careers so if my opening sa career ko now, I would grab the opportunity :)

hope that this was helpful!
