Pros

Ayala offers the best benefits packages and classy, upscale work environment in the local industry. There is a liberal, open door policy and a generally modern, world-class atmosphere, with a progressive way of building systems and processes. There is an open mindedness toward new technology, trends, and business models. Generally pleasant atmosphere. Full of ideas, information, new things to learn and discover.

Cons

While there is an attempt to adapt a progressive Western mindset, there are disjoints in daily reality. Actual movement within the company is very slow and conservative. Strong undercurrents of organizational politics still exist and oftentimes undermine the liberal ideals of management. A faint neo-colonial culture could also be felt in relation to the Zobels being one of the country's eminent Spanish-lineage families. Together with the Western mindset, there is a strong bias toward MBAs or foreign-schooled top management.

Advice to Senior Management

Bridge the gap between top management and frontliners. Middle management tends to be a breeding ground for incompetent, complacent, less scrupulous or inefficient personalities. Increase mentorship and succession planning. Instigate a clearer and stronger performance evaluation system---no kid gloves.
