  • Bilas and feedback

    This week, the UX design team is having our regular bilas (bilateral meetings) which, undoubtedly, is one of the most important part of Avaloq’s culture. Bilas serve a wide range of benefits from an unstructured kwentuhan to an avenue for the team to express what’s working and what could be better in terms of our…

  • First Day High

    Woke up early morn scampering to find all the knickknacks that once filled up my backpack. I emptied it since March early this year and retired it into a forgotten corner of the house. The quarantine’s end wasn’t in sight, after all. All the things that I think I might need when in the office…

  • Over the probationary period hump at Avaloq

    A couple of weeks since lockdown (nearing April), Jaycelle and I made this major decision — for the lack of better words — to level up. It was scary, indeed, because the pandemic surprised us all. Most companies halted their hirings yet there I was with an offer on the table. Fast forward to six…

  • Avaloq, Day 5

    It’s now complete — all of the objectives I’ve gotten onto my notes. Now comes the challenging part of putting it together — connecting the dots — making sense of it all. I’ll probably start making outlines and bullet points and eventually some framework for my first six months and beyond at Avaloq. The team,…

  • Avaloq, Day 4

    Today, the team and I had a smaller group of meet and greet along with our chapter lead who was directly leading the team before I came along. It was funny that suddenly, everyone’s device camera started malfunctioning when it was one’s turn to speak. Glad I took a bath today that I was able…

  • Avaloq, Day 3

    One by one, I’ve been filling in the blanks of my objectives in my first six months at Avaloq. I’ve already met with my line manager. Tomorrow, with my functional manager and chapter lead. Today, I met everyone in the design team — my team in Manila and everyone else across the globe. It is…

  • Avaloq, Day 2

    Today was sweltering, still. I had the morning onboarding at the balcony where the wind was gushing — and it was far better. During the afternoon, the sun was creeping in so I went back inside the home office. Let me just synthesize some of the memorable things that blotted in my mind during Minco…

  • Avaloq, Day 1

    I said to a colleague that I felt like I’ve been with Avaloq for more than a year now because of the size of my email inbox. On day 1. But whoever said that email inboxes couldn’t receive mails on the first day, right? A third of it were warm welcome from my fellow designers…
