GigaOm ran a quick report on the top tech companies is the US based on the average salaries they gave their engineers/developers and Google came out on top. I wonder which tech companies in the Philippines would be on the top 10 if we had the same salary information.
Based on the numerous feedback I get from regular folks in the IT circle, here are my top guesses:
- A lot of old classmates/schoolmates I heard that were employed to HP fresh from college says they have great salary packages. One fresh grad even got a car loan on his first year.
- While very few developers could get into Oracle Philippines because of the vertical industry they are in, people say they have very nice compensation package to retain their top employees.
- Canon Philippines has a ton of engineers and developers here in Manila working some stuff related to cameras, printers and the lot. While the pay is not really very high, developers get a chance to go on special projects in Japan ranging from several months to a couple of years. That’s the time when get the “pay bonus”.
- IBM Philippines was once considered as the top company to work for and has been competitive salaries and a very mobile workplace environment.
- Very little is known about Lakeside Technologies but when they put out an ad before looking for web developers, the starting salaries they were offering were very much higher than industry figures. I also had several former officemates and friends who used to work there and they confirmed the handsome pay. However, one commented that is “if you still want to have a personal life“. So okay, they pay you good and work you real hard.
- Trend Micro, Inc. has a number of top notch antivirus engineers working at their offices in Libis. An old classmate tells me the pay is good but the hours are really bad.
- HeadStrong Philippines. I used to work there before for several months so I have a fair idea of their compensation structure. However, friends that have recently worked there tells me the pay is good and the benefits are great (though not as great as it was 8 years ago). They have a fleet of private cars which will bring employees home if you work overtime (past 10PM).
- Novare Technologies. I know a number of top notch engineers/developers (geeks) are working there so the pay must be really good.
- Smart Communications has been very popular among employees for their extended month bonus. Last December 2006, employees were given up to 21-month bonus. Standard is only 13 months. That’s 8 months more.
Yahoo has just formally opened their office in the Philippines and since they are on GigaOm’s Top 10, they might also be the same here.
There are several other smaller companies that have very attractive compensation packages but I thought they might not be able to scale that once they grow much bigger. If you have some idea which tech companies I should include here, please do leave a comment. The ones I have here aren’t based on hard data so I might have listed some of them wrong too (which brings me, we should do an IT salary survey of sorts here).

if you’re going to apply at 77globalservices, be ready to sign a contract stating that you have a 70 days notice. and if the recruiter told you that the 70-day notice is negotiable (say like it can be negotiated to 30-days), then be ready to be mad when you file your resignation because they will still impose the contract no matter what. recruiters mention all the good things that can never happen, just to make you accept the offer
and if you opted to take note of what i said, and then later on you realized that i was right, feel free to drop a post here so everybody will know.

@sashadel
Magkano ang starting salary for:
Business Analysts for both Junior and Senior level?
Naka-bench kasi ako for 4 months, at tinatamad na ako dito sa current company ko. (take note: hindi ACN)
@Migzy , ang alm ko ..it depends on the experience, skills… ang mgiging offer sa iyo… they pay you real good tlga kung mkapasa ka..
sashadel, I’m interested in learning informatica. Do you know if they’re accepting people without experience in informatica? But I have experience using other BI and ETL/Mapping tools.
thanks ^^
pde bah walk in applicant sa oracle?
May suggestion po ako sa mga pinoy java developers with at least 2 years experience tulad ko…..
napadaan lang po ako dito sa site na ito kaya minsan lang ako mag susugest sa kapwa ko pinoy para umasenso ng mas mabilis….
hit and run lang po ako dito…
pag may 2 years ka na working on the latest technologies sa programing languages mo…i suggest you try out going to singapore on a visitor’s pass for one month then mag post ka sa monster and jobstreet singapore and jobsdb ng resume mo …
mabilis po ang response ng mga agencies dun as in the day after you posted, tatawagan ka na agad for possible interview…
as pinoy mas prefered tayo dun over indians in their experience…
usual entry level salary dun ay 3k to 3.5k in sing dollars….tapos usual rent ranges from 400 to 800 sing dollars lang per month….
important tips: punta kayo kapag walang recession sa singapore at walang chinese new year….
for transient stays in singapore…punta lang po kayo sa website ng mga pinoy na nasa singapore….www.pinoysg.com …
gud luck po at pls behave at maintain natin ang magandang pangalan ng “pinoy” sa ibang bansa!
@pinoycoolstuff gusto ko po ang comment nyo…. kasi ngaun grabe ang kompetensya between mga idiano at pinoy sa IT
