GCash and Maya Among Best Workplaces for Filipinos to Grow a Career, Says LinkedIn

Fintech unicorn Mynt (GCash) and digital bank Maya has carved out a place in the top 3 of LinkedIn’s ranking for the best workplaces to grow a career in the Philippines this year.

The 3rd annual LinkedIn Top Companies had also featured other financial institutions including Citi and Prudential.

The top 15 ranking looks at components like how employees are advancing both within a company and when they leave, how they’re upskilling while employed there, and more — revealing companies that help set people up to get ahead in their careers.

When compiling the list, LinkedIn also considered factors like attrition and layoffs. Companies that have laid off 10% or more of their workforce between 1 January 2022 and the list launch, based on public announcements — or that have attrition greater than 10%, based on LinkedIn data — were ineligible to rank.
