PT. Metrodata Electronics Tbk.

Pros: You don't really worry about job security here, especially if you're working on core IT solutions. As a Software Engineer, I felt pretty stable. It's a big corporate company that's been around forever, so that helps.
Cons: Career growth isn't always clear, and it can feel slow. Sometimes, the work on system integration projects feels a bit dated. They could definitely update some processes.
Advice to Management: Try to speed up career progression paths for tech roles. Invest more in newer tech training to keep employees engaged and skills current.

Pros: The base salary as a Software Engineer is competitive for the Jakarta market. We got a regular annual bonus, which was always a nice boost. Health insurance coverage is solid, providing good basic protection you'd expect from an established tech company.
Cons: Pay raises were usually very small each year, barely keeping up. The benefits package isn't very exciting or flexible; it's mostly basic stuff. Don't expect any fancy perks you might see at smaller, more modern tech companies in the electronics industry.
Advice to Management: Think about making annual pay raises more significant to truly reward good performance. Also, offering more diverse or flexible benefits could really help retain talent in the competitive tech sector.

Pros: I appreciate the hybrid model they introduced; it gives us a couple of WFH days which is solid for personal errands. As a Software Engineer, having that little bit of control over my schedule really helps, especially avoiding Jakarta traffic.
Cons: Sometimes the 'flexible' part feels more like a suggestion. Team leads often expect onsite presence for minor meetings, which defeats the purpose of the hybrid setup. The IT solutions sector can be demanding, and true flexibility isn't always there when project deadlines hit hard.
Advice to Management: Encourage managers to fully embrace the hybrid model. Trust your teams more with remote work, especially in the tech industry where it's common practice.
