PS. Fortunately, this company is where my cousin works with for about 2 years. She is Lyzel Abuzo, an IT professional and now became their software development manager under the WebFinancials services. Therefore, she is the one that I have interviewed about their company. Honestly, she just talked about it a little because she thinks that I could have more detailed information about their practices/ services on IT/IS if I am going to visit their website instead. On the other hand, I am very proud of her for working with that very good company because Lane Systems’ corporate atmosphere is really dynamic and very challenging. They are always on the edge, crunching numbers and codes, testing software repeatedly, just to meet deadlines and achieve customer satisfaction. And the company strives to be reputable in its excellent output of business solutions and systems. I just wish that I’m gonna work with that company too someday even if I'm gonna really feel that pressure too coz it's really my honor to work with that kind of a company!
