A trading system and framework as well as real-time ‘Macro’ and ‘Fundamental Analysis’ guidance for helping Filipino investors and traders manage their wealth around what the team believes to be a very volatile decade ahead.

A focus on trading and capitalizing on the cryptocurrency markets, which is what the team believes to be the biggest opportunity available by far to traders and investors alike this decade.

Guidance and application of the system framework on the local Philippine Markets.

Open Journal essentially offers private access to the same kind of thinking, guidance, strategies, and resources that have generated one of the best trading track records in the industry in the pursuit of maximizing the opportunity present in the Cryptocurrency markets.

Good learning environment with room for growth
Pros: The biggest plus is definitely the learning opportunities. As a junior member, I've had chances to work on diverse projects and develop new skills related to data analysis and academic content management. The company culture is collaborative, and people are generally willing to help each other out. The location in Rogaland is also quite nice for living. They offer good remote work flexibility which is a huge advantage.
Cons: Sometimes, communication between departments can be a bit slow, leading to minor delays on tasks. The pace can feel a little inconsistent, with some periods being very busy and others quite slow. While the pay is decent for the role and location, it doesn't always feel competitive with market rates for similar tech roles in larger cities, especially considering the specialized nature of academic publishing software.
Advice to Management: Continue fostering the collaborative spirit and leverage the remote work flexibility. Consider more structured cross-departmental communication channels to streamline workflows and enhance project efficiency.

Good Tech Environment, Room to Grow
Pros: The team here is great, very collaborative and skilled, especially within the software development department. I appreciate the focus on using modern tech stacks. The remote work options are solid, offering good work-life balance, which is crucial for anyone working in this tech industry. Being part of a Norwegian company with international reach is also a plus.
Cons: There's a bit of bureaucracy that can slow down decision-making, which is sometimes frustrating for a fast-paced tech role. Communication between departments could be smoother, leading to occasional misunderstandings. The pay and benefits are decent, but not industry-leading compared to some larger tech firms.
Advice to Management: Consider streamlining some internal processes to speed up project delivery. More cross-departmental training could also enhance collaboration and understanding.
