    There is significant room for improvement in how the company treats and empowers its workforce.
    The good thingsUnfortunately, my experience with Bataan 2020 was overwhelmingly negative. During my time with the company, I did not encounter any notable positives in terms of work culture, management, or employee development.
    The challengesThe environment was disorganized, leadership lacked transparency and support, and there was little regard for employee well-being or growth.

    Good for Short Time Only
    The good thingsStarting salary for a management trainee/ cadet engineer is good (but still not at par with other companies).
    The challengesThey will bond you in a 2 years or more contract if you are a trainee. After the 6 months probationary period, the salary does not move much. It's either you stay with a low salary to finish the contract, or just like others did, look for better opportunities outside and pay the contract price. Also they expect too much. THE SALARY IS NOT WORTH THE STRESS!
