My dad used to work there & I also used to work there in the summer when I was in college. Ok dun, daming benefits, mahilig magmerrienda mga tao, everbody sleeps during lunch and you can have an early lunch, plus you get a free sack of rice every month ;)

[boywonder]

Share naman the benefits, starting salary range, cool ba magwork dito?

[carmichel]

Loans (almost all kinds), very good medical benefits (for you and your immediately family), gym (has its own sports and recreation center in Ortigas), rice allowance (not sure if they still give this though), and much more...this company is a good provider for its employees and their families. No wonder most of them stay until their retirement.

Starting salary is ok. Not as high as the multinationals, but as mentioned the company gives very good employee benefits.

Lots of "extracurricular" activities (parties, concerts, sports tournaments, etc). The company gives employees lives outside of their work. The culture is quite relaxed, though employees are required to be in corporate attire.

The work? It depends on the department you are assigned to. It's best if your work is directly related or very essential to their core business, which is power distribution. If not it could become very boring and stagnant later on.

im working at meralco as contractual employee. based from my observation the company offers good benefits. Ok ang mga big bosses but yung mga co-workers na regulars hay naku kairita. ipapafeel nila sayo na contractual ka lang.masyado mataas ang tingin sa kanilang sarili. parang inde nagdaan sa pagiging contractual at mahilig magpasa ng trabaho nila sa mga contractual. yun iba naman ay nakakapasok lang dahil may kakilala o backer. di ba badtrip yun. kainis. kaya me tatapusin ko lang ang contract ko at aalis na ko.

[leesn]

hi! my sister has been working in meralco for 13-14 years (i think). my dad retired after 30 years of service. the salary and benefits are ok. one of the benefits we really like, for Lopez companies, is MESALA. there's a kind of savings there that earns more than 17% per annum. however, the medical benefits could be better. mas maganda kung hmi or medicard ang naka-issue for the employees and their dependents =).

[ronfindabetajob]

how to apply at MERALCO??...matagal ba maregular??[B]
thanks

[chiena19]

wow, thanks a lot for the feedbacks. I'm planning to apply na:D

[blueshark]

you can visit www.meralco.com.ph for careers.

[steaminghot_69]

To tell you honestly, I don't want to work there. Mommy ko nagsabi na "meron daw na pa-kotse dun."

Sabi ng barkada ko, mababa daw magpa-suweldo tsaka kuripot pagdating sa benepisyo.

Anyone working in Meralco? I mean, sa office ha, hindi yung taga-tanggal ng wiring sa poste ng kuryente?

[bongkers]

I take it you haven't worked there yet. Actually the benefits are quite good. though as far as i know the car plan is for those who are a bit more senior.

But it all depends on what you want to do, what you're looking for and what job opening you are applying for there.

[steaminghot_69]

Ah talaga? Thanks for the info. Need some insights from you guys. Thanks

[Pancho Jr]

mababa ang basic fringe benefits are good naman pero if you plan to build a career, a friend who works there tells me you can retire after about 15 years of work.

[carmichel]

The car plan benefit for senior management was removed 2 years ago to cut costs. I'm not sure if they restored it, or if they plan to restore it.

Basic pay is low, but the medical benefits are good. The culture is relaxed, since Meralco has no competitors yet. Employees stay for like 10, 15, 20 or so years.

But as mentioned above, it depends on what you are looking for. If you want a career in IT, look elsewhere. There's hardly any advancement.

[bongkers]

Meralco's IT is currently outsourced to Soluziona Philippines.

But it's true that the culture is somewhat relaxed. If you plan to have a long career, Meralco can support you. If you want something dynamic and always on the go, you might be better served elsewhere.

As a friend of mine and i were discussing, when you're young and still desperate to learn and try new things, Meralco probably isn't too appealing. But when you're more established and stable in your life, you just might long for the stability of Meralco's working environment.

[kian_kone]

My tita has been working for Meralco for the last 25 years and I could definitely say maganda dun. Benefits are ok, but I'm not to familiar with what you can get if you just started out, I guess depending on the position. May car plan nga sila.

Tapos pag punta nyo sa main building hanapin nyo yung malaking aruana dun sa parang pond nila dun ehehe. La lang.

[comrade5031]

Hi, do anyone knows if there's a hiring in this company? If there is how much is there starting salary for an admin position?

[swo0osh]

any infos bout the compensation, benefits, environment???

thanks!

[prize]

May liwanag ba talaga ang buhay dito?hehehehe...

[manok00]

Sa eMeralco ka nalang, mas ok pa dun. This is a subsidiary of Meralco

[Green horizon]

I just retired from Meralco (optional retirement plan). I've just got one thing to say after 17 1/2 years with the company, THANK GOD I'M FINALLY OUT!!!! Take it from me, it ain't worth it specially now. Complan sucks!!!!

[blushingcheeq]

[acgalan]

ok po ba magstart dito?

[real madrid]

time pressure yung exam at matira ang matibay dun

dapat ipasa mo lahat ng series of exams....

di ko alam kung ganito pa din ans style nila.


then next step is phsyco test another day yun

pagkatapos nun di na ako tinawagan

ibig bang sabihin dun di ako pumasa?

matino naman nga sagot ko, bakit kaya?


sabi din dito maba lang daw ang basic

pero ang laki ang kanilang GC every month.

so sa mahilig mag-shooping pala ang mga

taga meralco.

[acgalan]

ahh.. kasi may interview ako this nov 13..

[mykel angelo]

Totoo bang ang pagdadaanan mo ng proseso dito ay?

3 pre-employment exams
2 panel interviews
1 physical exam

Ano kaya ang coverage ng pre-employment exams? Kailangan ba magdala ng calculator?

[newbie17]

may qualifying exam ako sa tuesday for analyst position.
may nabasa akong blog na kapag nakapasa ka sa qualifying ay pababalikin ka para sa IQ and Psychological tests.

doon sa mga nakaabot na hanggang psych at iq tests, gaano ba kahirap?

gusto ko na talagang makapasa dito kasi matagal na rin akong walang work.

thanks in advance for sharing.

[mark_mark]

whew.. ang hirap mag decide..

I worked in Meralco as an Electrical Engineer for 14.5yrs. Kung may plano kang mag-abroad pinaka magandang ma-assign sa Subtransmission Services (yun ang name nung department nung umalis ako nung 2005). Under this department are the following offices: Power System Protection, SCADA, Electrical Testing and Substation. Pag naging technical specialist ka in any of these fields eh magiging in-demand ka overseas.;)

As far as I know kung bagong hire ka eh dimo mapipili kung saang office mo gustong ma-assign. It would depend kung saang office kulang yung tao. Pero malamang may opening dun sa mga offices na nabanggit ko kasi madaming engineers na napa-pirate overseas or nag-a-abroad dun eh.*okay*

Ano pala pinagdaanan mong proseso para makapasok sa Meralco. May tips ka ba ibibigay? hehe

[bespreni#1]

^^up ko lang

meron bang may alam ng starting salary sa meralco? (analyst/it analyst or batch rep)

[mykel angelo]

^ dapat hindi lineman ang aaplyan mo.

--
Apektado ba sa economic crisis ang meralco?
Considering na essential ang kuryente, at mas lalong tataas ang sales nila during summer and december.

[jhodilyn20]

i am working for Meralco for 3 years now. We dont have the highest salary in the industry, but I can say its competitive enough with other Filipino owned companies. We have the best benefits which extends to our immediate family. And more importantly, we have the best work environment which gives value to the family atmosphere at work. My peers/co workers are the best that one employee could have. I wouldn't exchange the sky rocketing salary of other companies for this.

I am just wondering what kind of people are those that have served the company for more than half of their life, and yet, would say that Meralco is not ok. If it is not ok, why is it that you have wasted years of your life serving this company?

I can say that the management loves its employees like we are its partners. And I intend to stay here longer.*okay*

[prettylicious06]

im a former meralco employee. i just resigned last year and i definitely miss working there. i luv everythin about meralco except for 1 thing... the salary hehe!

[dunamis]

magkano po kaya range ng starting salary ng branch rep at administrative clerk?

[nonsense91]

engineer position *** inaplayan ko, fresh grad ako ng ee

sana matulungan nyo ako
