Pros

*Family oriented environment in which the company take considerations when an employee need to be off for family events, family emergencies, school functions. An employee can take A sick day off without requirement for a medical certificate for proof of sickness. * HMO Medical Insurance premium is paid by the company and allows up to 2 dependents (new employees) or 4/6 dependents (for those pioneer employees). Note: an employee and the other dependent beneficiaries has to be an active Philhealth member to enjoy fully this benefit. Does not include pregnancy related coverage though. * The company could be a good training ground to those starting their career.

Cons

* Regular performance review and appraisal is not practice here. * In my experience one has to apply for higher position in order to get some salary advancement and has to clarify the benefits change when applying for the said position as it could be considered as a lateral transfer and there would not be any salary/ benefits advancement at all. * No retirement plan for employees (This is not government mandate here in PH, but is a norm on most private companies.) * Salary can at times be delayed.

Pros

Longevity in business. Strong parent company. Upward mobility. Shared financial success. Remote work.

Cons

We were previously owned by an individual whose culture is still remembered by some. Those wounds are still healing.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Windward Software has been around for over 40 years and we are grateful to our customers for their patronage and to our employees for believing in what we do and contributing to our longevity. Culture is a difficult thing to change. We want to retain the people who have built the business over so many years and who continue to contribute great work. Senior leadership has changed, but as you have said, memories and mindsets, including old biases take time transform and we have to routinely check our biases and listen. Customers are critical to Windward Software's success. We must continue to listen to customer feedback, proactively engage with our customers, and strive to provide great solutions and services for them. As the CEO/GM of the business, I truly believe that employees are the key in all of this. People who care about customers and each other, who feel listened to and seen, who feel rewarded by the work they do together for customers, and who are provided with a work environment that supports them and their families. Windward continuously works to provide this. We are not perfect at meeting everyone's needs. Everyone plays a role in making Windward Software a great place to work. We are each responsible for our own happiness and for bringing our best selves to every human interaction. Each person has an influence at Windward Software. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! Yes, things have changed so much since Windward Software was acquired by Volaris Group in July 2019. We have made changes in the Senior Leadership Team and are guided by business practices that have been proven to build strong lasting companies. We continue to improve and grow and we are so excited for the future! Thank you again for taking the time to post a review.
