(this list are not from my personal point of view, i gathered this data from different sites and forums)

Lawson PSSC
They give good compensation, excellent work-life balance, allowances, and benefits. I must say that they provide a good working environment. :-) Currently, Lawson has two offices here in the country - both being in Taguig. One is in Net 2 Center in The Fort, and in One World Square in McKinley Hill. This company is not really into hardcore programming but still, challenges are present. ALLOWANCE and FUN are two words that would describe this company in terms of the monetary thing.

Accenture
They give high salary DEPENDING ON THE POSITION. Their Entry-level salary offer could be very low, same case with Smart, but once you climb up the career ladder, their pay and future pay could get you somewhere. They might be considered thrifty for the newly grads, but then, when you get hired, and has already earned the right and sufficient exposure, experience, and training under them, then you can expect a gallant compensation package along your career ladder as you climb up.

Azeus
Azeus pays well specially for their programmers, the thing in this company is that they are into hardcore programing, most often than not, they will fully utilize your skills and push you towards your limits. This is Good for others, bad for some.

Smart Communications
Smart pays really good but not in terms of the monthly income of employees. It is in terms of the annual income. The monthly basic pay is VERY low compared with other big companies, but they can give out as much as upto 18-20th month pay. During interviews, they would tell you that it could be upto 22nd-25th month pay, but honestly, that'll only come once in a blue moon. the average would be upto 18th month pay. Not bad at all!

IBM
IBM, pays the highest in terms of the overtime pay. If you can work for really long hours and stay on your assignment in the office, then you can even receive twice of your basic pay at the end of the month. the biggest smile for this is that overtime pays are not taxable.

Canon Philippines
Canon Philippines has a ton of engineers and developers here in Manila working some stuff related to cameras, printers and the lot. While the pay is not really very high, developers get a chance to go on special projects in Japan ranging from several months to a couple of years. That’s the time when get the “pay bonus”.
