i'm just curious, i've heard a lot about the company

***Ada*** · Jun 6, 2000, 03:05 PM

A friend of mind applied there a few weeks ago but hasn't received a call from them yet. I believe they just moved into their new office in Makati and that they're fixing up the place before hiring people. If I'm not mistaken, the starting salary is P16,500. It's a phone and email support company ata.

yuga · Jun 6, 2000, 07:24 PM

They are a US company also based here in the Phils. Help desk/ call center. Starting salary is P13,000. A friend of mine worked there for over a month but didn't get paid so he resigned and got a job at PhilamLife for the same amount.
My friend said he doesn't know what was actually happening with the company. They didn't even promptly infor their employees about the salaries ans stuff. Poor people - all work an no pay.

I had the funniest experience when I applied here back when their office was still in Libis. Basically, they give you an easy 15 item Internet test when you start off. I think once you pass that, you can do their next test. They're the only company I know that takes typing skills into consideration. I guess they need it.

Anyway, I've started with computers since I was really young so I could type pretty quick. While I was doing their typing test practice, I got a 100 percentile for that practice trial. The guy looked at me as though I was an alien. After that I had to take 3 more genuine-timed tests, all of which scored higher each time. When I left, my friend who was sitting beside me told me that they couldn't believe I had typed that many words in a minute. They checked and re-checked their typing program to see if something was wrong! I don't know about you guys but I find that hilarious!

Bottomline... If you're looking for a company where you can climb that corporate ladder and meet people that can help you get up, this ain't the place to do it. But if what interests you is purely the salary and you're a lazy bum who'd rather be a robot and sit in front of the computer saying "PeopleSupport, how may I help you?" 8 hours for 6 days... then this is your HEAVEN!

you can visit their website at www.peoplesupport.com if you want to learn more about the company...

ng@k · Oct 18, 2000, 09:08 AM

Do you know anything about this company? Where is it located? What type of people are they hiring?

leira · Oct 18, 2000, 09:48 AM

they used to be located at eastwood city, libis. i think they're in makati now. they prefer people with good computer background. the job's just like those in e-telecare, customer support/service.

brownpau · Oct 18, 2000, 01:44 PM

Customer service support company, similar nga to E-Telecare or Sykes. Their office is in Philamlife Bldg, Paseo de Roxas Ave., Makati. I know someone working there. Baket?

ng@k · Oct 18, 2000, 02:13 PM

it's because they're hiring. my friend told me that PeopleSupport called her up. What do you think about the salary?

***KuyaDanny*** · Oct 18, 2000, 02:15 PM

This topic has been discussed before:

Sykes, ETelecare, PeopleSupport - and the winner is?

ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PEOPLE SUPPORT!

I'm sorry that the first thread was closed because the discussion turned into a flame war. But if you can read beyond the flames you might find some useful information.

ng@k · Oct 18, 2000, 03:22 PM

Thanks for the information.

zimdude · Mar 1, 2001, 10:44 AM

For what it's worth, they have a nice office at Philamlife Tower!

***KuyaDanny*** · Mar 1, 2001, 11:10 AM

f0r5aK3n · Mar 1, 2001, 02:52 PM

i applied for that company last year. and i underwent an exam on internet and computer basics, as well as a typing exam. i think i'm ok with internet and computer stuffs but men! my typing skill sucks. and i was told that they'll contact me within a week for an initial interview and ofcourse they didn't, he he!

zimdude · Mar 4, 2001, 01:18 AM

I won't be admitted entry to the building if I said that my official purpose there was.. babewatching

No babes there, only empty desks.

melancholy · Jul 22, 2001, 08:58 AM

hey, i currently work at peoplesupport... i think everything has improved since the last time you guys looked...

the work has a high-stress level... grabe... try talking to an angry german... while he's screaming at you... "souksen verbouite das schalien!"... whatever that means... my brain is working every minute of my shift there... so please... give the company some credit...

it's not a sit-in-front-of-you-computer job... you have to be on your toes... 200% of the time...

i love the rec room though... counterstrike rocks! i only hope they had a shower room there... yun na lang ang kulang eh...

email me your comments at manitou17damienx@lycos.com
see ya around people!

no pun intended...

yakult · Jul 24, 2001, 11:14 AM

hmm...they called me up once or twice last month, pero I was never home to take the call. Kaya eto...bum pa rin ako. Although naiintriga ako as to what could have been.

by the way, I think another person from People Support made a Small Talk thread for People Support People...este People Support PExers.

cutebabe · Aug 18, 2001, 05:30 PM

About the salary thing, it is competitive I guess for the type of work that they ask you to do... "customer service".... but you got to do a lot of thinking before considering a "career" there... a job no prob.. but a career is something different... since it is similar to e-telecare and sykes, then the company is operating 24/7 which means that working schedule is on a shifting basis....with no holidays and permanent rest days and even permanent schedules(!) how would you like to go to work at 1am, 4am or anything of the like in the morning.... for "gimikeros" , no prob... but THINK about it... somehow, slowly, it's going to wipe out your social life with your friends.... the only people who would more often than not have time for you are your officemates... And for career growth and experience... naaahhhh.... really big time companies wouldn't care much nor less about your work experience there... so, if you're a person with big ambitions and want to a career big time, my advice is, don't go to companies like this... yes, they satisfy your needs for the moment, but in the long run, you will definitely regret it..... take it from me, i take it from experience and friends who experienced the same thing.... if you still don't believe me, then go ask people who work for such companies... or if not, find out for yourself... of course, everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion. good luck!
