Current Employee – been working at Meralco full-time for more than 8 years

ProsStable electric utility company with lots of business opportunity in national and international scale. Creates sense of pride to be part of the largest electric utility company in the Philippines.

ConsExposed to negative issues regarding high energy prices, in which Meralco serves only as a distributing company and does not directly generate and transmit power.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to find ways on how to improve controllable rate prices, employee empowerment and sustain supply of electricity in response to economic growth.

Pasig City (Philippines)

Advice to Senior Management-better selection process for the top10 interns and for the awardings

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Pasig City (Philippines)

Former Employee – worked at Meralco full-time for more than 10 years

ProsTop management was into re-engineering and multitasking was introduced. You are given the opportunity to find and develop your strength.

ConsAs you develop your strength, multitasking may at times hinder your growth because of the other tasks you have to do.

Advice to Senior ManagementI left the company in the transition period so I am in no position to comment other than to say that I hope that Meralco will remain as "Liwanag ng Buhay".
