Yeah... you may visit their website @ http://www.jpi.com.ph. ;)

[Assassin_Mage]

[hannah_li]

oi assassin, how do we say this?.. major employee turnover - reminiscent of the famed Exodus in the bible :D

me <-- bad! i should stop :p

but this is normal in an IT company or so they say

nway, training is great. you get to learn a lot of things. now about the binding contract? dont even get me started! :D

[Assassin_Mage]

indeed, training is great in this company. unlike other companies which do not have a training program for new employees, J-SYS has a training program which will immerse employees in Nihongo, software development and other details that you will need later on.

This is a great company if you are interested in anime cause it is primarily a japanese company and thus contact with japan is assured.

the only negative would be the binding contract though. I am not sure if they still implement it, but when I was there, it was very long. :-) ask hannah_li about it LOL

ei hannah_li >> howza?

[hannah_li]

hey im one of the fortunate ones -- i only got 2yrs binding contract which i put to good use -- i tried to learn all that i could but i also endured unmentionable not-so-great-things :(

some of my not-so-lucky colleagues got like 5yrs binding contract excluding the 1yr training, right assassin? :D

but that's ok coz im now in a company that gives me more than triple my previous salary in Jsys -- now this is life! :cool:

[Kikkomann]

So that binding contract thingy is bad, I presume.

How about the pay, management, and the company culture?

[Kikkomann]

And about pala dun sa Nihongo training: mahirap ba ipasa yun?

[Assassin_Mage]

for the binding contract it depends upon you.
If you are willing to bind yourself to a company, it wont be such a bad thing. you could think of it as job security :-)

as for the nihongo training ... well you have to pass the 3rd level Nihongo exam. not really hard if you are good with languages

[Kikkomann]

Dun ka pa rin ba work?:)

[Assassin_Mage]

nope. I moved to another company already. this one in Libis :-) I still work with japanese based projects though :-)

[Kikkomann]

Gaano ka katagal dun? Why did you moved to another company? How's the pay ba sa J-SYS? Would you recommend this company to other jobseekers? Tnx talaga! :)

[hannah_li]

pay is pure BS! i realized this after i transferred to another company.

its like this -- say JSYS was just paying me 5pesos, imagine my shock when i learned im worth more than 15pesos..

for those without experience/fresh grads, JSYS is a good training ground. you'll get far with what you will learn from here..

so would i recommend this to my friends?? no freaking way! :D i dont want them cursing me ;)

[Kikkomann]

In assessing yourself (your worth/"market value"), was that prior or after working at J-SYS?
