not to sound snobbish, but...there are a few posts on this job already been made in this forum...i copied and pasted what i posted a couple of months ago...you could try searching from the archives maybe next time...? =) anyway, to your question:

workwise, is pretty mundane...but which job isn't i guess? thing's aren't that hard to do, really, but it's just tedious (takes about 1 week to learn, 1 month to get used to, and you should be able to walk on your own from there on)

working hours...the earlier you come in, the earlier you can leave...new hires are new hires, so, you can come in at 9am and leave by 6...for around 2 months max, i guess...lol

otherwise, you'll consider yourself lucky if you come in at 8am and could leave by 7pm...lol, i pity some of my seniors which during the due date of our workload and they will need to stay till near midnight to finish the work

employee turnover rate quite high, prolly 2 person leaving every 3 months, on average...it's kinda like this, either u stay for 1 year, many years, or a few months, if u get what i mean, lol...

what else...oh, people are quite nice i guess, but you rarely get to interact around as work will bind you most of the time, except during lunch hour, haha...however, just make sure that you do your work and meet your targets and do it "perfectly" and you should have a pretty ok time there (except that you may feel that you are really tied to your work, lol)

job opportunities after getting in here? i think some had already stated, compliance being the most clearly defined job out there...i am also quite in a dilemma at this point that if i leave, which job should i find, lol...this field is pretty "self-defined"...so, it'll be hard for fresh grads to know where to go if they dun like this field of work...XD

hope that helps...=)

Thank u very much for the info, this really helps a lot..and sorry for not using the search function 1st sweat.gif

Based on what u mentioned, it sounds like an auditor's working life oso, have to stay when there is due date to meet... tongue.gif

R u working with citigroup with same position?

However, other than the working environment, could you or anyone please tell me how will i be tested during the interview which i will attend next monday?

1 more question, will this position enjoy the same benefit (eg bonus) with the staffs from other department like credit dept and loan approve dept?

interview is just pretty simple...the only thing u need to read up is...what is and why AML operations existed...just get the basics up, a quick search on wikipedia\google would do as well

as for auditors...their work are much tougher...and more longer hours...lol

Long working hours and mundane job. Crappy pay and mediocre benefits. A senior once told me, if you can survive at Citigroup for more than a year, you can survive anywhere else since this place is hell.

Its like stepping through the gates of hell. Serious.

People are somewhat friendly. Career growth? Let's put it this way, unless you stay for more than 5 years, you will be doing the same old shit with peanut pay without bonus (bonus is myth so I've heard). Whadaya expect, CTSM is a cost center, you ain't making money for the company so you definitely don't deserve the money that those in sales are earning.

As was mentioned, turnover rate is high. Really high. People leaving every 2 months haha. I see Goodbye and Farewell letters regularly. Oh and uhh, resignation notice period is 1 month for temporary staff and 2 months for permanent. Its a deterrence for people to leave BUT PEOPLE STILL LEAVE hahaha.

Interview process? Haha, one of the easiest interviews ever. They just basically ask you about yourself and "enlighten" you on crappy the job (must be willing to work at staggered hours, facing the monitor for 9 hours, anti-social/pro-introvert roles bla bla bla etc etc etc).

Have a nice day hehehehe. My advice, go join Dell or Agilent. Goyang kaki to the max smile.gif

as a matter of face...for the pay...during my time of entree is still pretty good...however, during the month of august or later, they cut down the salary most likely due to rapid expansion of the team

well, as for being hell...not so much comparing to an auditor's life...the hellish thing most probably is due to the amount of workload + it's just mundane...however, most of the time, the task is simple...if you got yourself a hard task...you will take your time to complete that, which is just bad for your productivity...lol

there is bonus, how much is it i dunno, but to qualify, u will need to work more than a year before january comes...and from what i heard...the bonus for this year is just really bad though...but for the past few years was good...i dunnno...just seems so polar opposite on which to believe, XD

dell or agilent...which job is recommended? not to say goyang kaki or what...but, just basically a good career path and an interesting day to day job will be good...haha

Most of my friends who are at Dell or Agilent, regardless of job functions, be it customer support, engineering, marketing etc etc are ecstatic! They are happy and the OT is high. Some even get to go back before 6. Never gonna happen at Citigroup.

I'd let you guys in on a lil secret, many of my colleagues received RM 60 for annual increment. Best la, wow I bet they feel sooooo special about themselves. Working their ass off for 10+ hours a day and they get a peanut increment. HAHAHAHAHA, oh I pity them and (myself). Such is the life at Citigroup.

Gee, I wonder why the turnover rate is high.

Just to shed some light on the interview process, they'd ask standard interview question like tell me more about yourself, what is your biggest achievement, one of your weakness, explain what is AML and what do you understand from its term. The young lady that interviewed me was really friendly, not HR but i think from corporate division in AML.

Pure compliance job i would say. Salary wise, a tad bit low, ranging from RM2400 (no experience) to Rm 2500 (with experience). cry.gif

They are mass hiring now due to a severe shortage of staff. People are leaving in droves.

You can be a real jackass and they'd still take you in. All you need to do during the interview is say yes. Yes to the long hours, yes to staring at the monitor the whole day and yes to working at staggered hours.

They seem to think RM 2400 is a lot. But it isn't these days. Fuel prices are rising and KFC fried chicken are getting smaller and smaller.

At least Public Bank offers RM 2800 to fresh grads. High workload but you are handsomely compensated for the effort. Some more got annual dinner with Amber Chia haha.

Ain't staying here for long. Its a sinking ship.

Working time, depends on your department which region you are servicing.

The 2 months contractual bonus is already factored into your base salary. So in actual fact, CTSM employees are earning less than RM 2400. RM 2400 is already inclusive of the contractual bonus. They have duped many people. Only when u are inside, u find out about all this nonsense.

I have shown you the light. Stay far far away from AML or any other positions at CTSM.

Reject it and go find a job at BAT haha. You kill people for a living. Ain't that cool brother. Need a 1st class honours qualification though hehehehe.

HY! i went for the interview today and it went suck. because of my own mistake hehe. the interview is very casual. but u have to do research about this job. i did a research, but i only research about ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING ANALYST. yes u have to know what is the job scope but u have to know what is MONEY LAUNDERING also. and the three steps ( placement, layering n integration) u can find it in google. luckily the interviewer give me second chance tomorrow. hope i can do it better.

hope my advice can help u or other people smile.gif

remind u, MONEY LAUNDERING n ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING ANALYST are not the same. one is the ''what does it mean by this act'' and the other one is ''what is the job scope'' don't be careless like me hehe

Uhh, you really want this job? Well, good luck buddy.

The fact that the interviewer gave you a second chance shows how desperate they are. In most interviews, once you screw up, you're out.

Yes. And they only pay you RM 2400 for all that trouble.

my 2nd interview went smooth thank GOD!!! it was very casual. the basic is only rm2,400. but i think the experiences are more valuable than that. besides, i'm broke. so need money n just grab whatever chances in front of me, surely the good ones tongue.gif

they said that sometimes i should come on saturday, for the time being i have no problem with that, since i have no commitment but i told them i hope i dont have to come on EVERY saturday (that would be suck) haha they will call within 2 weeks but i dont put too much hope. hehe

well, to be quite honest, experience is pretty limited...but i think the most important thing u learn here is to be extra particular at things you are working on...kinda like try your best to clean every speck of dust on sight...or at least sweep them under the carpet if u are unable to do so...XD

well, as for saturdays, most team leaders will use the word compulsory working day...so, if u are asked to come, u should come...notice that i didn't use a must...because if some unexpected urgent-important things come up, u will not be able to work la of course

i know that most departments are practicing a minimum of 2-3 saturdays...and the final 1 saturday...depends on which team u are on i guess...XD

hope u enjoy your stay, all the best

Just went for the interview. The recruiter told me that that beside the basic RM2400. There are also OT claim and meal allowance. How true is that?

as for allowance...some team leaders practice different ways of giving it...

but in short, there will be allowance if u complete your work and stay on the required (minimum) working hours to qualify for it

on weekends - rm 100 for 4 hrs
on weekdays - +3hours and u will only be able to claim it when the clock strikes 9pm

Thanks alot for the insight! I have a second interview with the team leader next week. Do you have any idea what will they ask? No idea should i accept the job or not sigh. Btw the new office is in masjid jamek because apparently the department in citibank is already full. Do you know how is the environment there?

Just went for the interview. The recruiter told me that that beside the basic RM2400. There are also OT claim and meal allowance. How true is that?

Yeah RM 20 for OT. Hehehe. You must work for the entire 3 hours or else your boss will tell you to go fly a kite.

No experience needed. Hell, you can be a lawyer, they'd still take you in. Ask yourself this question, do you like to stay in the office for 9 hours and stare at documents and monitor for the whole day?

If you like that, then this is the perfect job for you.

A friend of mine recently attended the interview and told the interviewers that he is an extrovert who likes to meet up with people and socialize. Guess what, they rejected him hahaha.

If that's the case, All the best and good luck MARINE. Semper Fi!!

To me, every CTSM employee is like a US Marine. They go through a lot of shit and take a lot of punishment. Its a war zone out there.

The question is, how long will you last? hehehe.

Here's a tip, once you start working at CTSM, continue looking for a better job. They won't be mad at you since everyone is expendable.

Try to find it before you are confirmed because CTSM's resignation notification period after confirmation is 2 months.

Try looking into vacancies at Sime Darby, BAT, CIMB Bank or HSBC. Y'know, companies that pay much much more than CTSM haha.

if u are fast enough...and have minor rejected case due to that, u rarely need to stay past 7pm

otherwise, u come early can leave earlier too

it also depends on which division you are put into...but most team leaders dislike it if u dun finish close to your target but left for home...at least try to come in early to leave for home early

u can also set a time for yourself to go home, as in like if u dun like to work past 8pm, u try to make yourself leave by 8pm lo

the only time that you should not leave that early is when your department are closing cases for the month...you should only leave when your cases are cleared...if u leave before your cases are cleared, someone else is gonna pick your cases up to rectify them...it could be small, it could be big...just depends on how u did the case...this happens only once a month tho, and sometimes it just depends how early your case loads are being cleared

probation period is 6 months, however, u most likely will have the privilege of a newbie for about 1~2mths at most

newbie privilege = come in at 9am, leave by 6

Hi guys, i got called up for the interview too on Monday.
Well before i read this thread i thought working in Citi is kind of glamorous but now it's kinda surprise to see so many negative comments here too.

the main reason i wanna enter and nail this offer is to gain more experience since it seems that the reasons i flunk previous interview or not qualified for the job is because lack of experience.

i wonder what is the prospect of this AMLA? and will the working experience in position help in future job hunting if i were to choose different career path (prolly like credit analyst) but still in banking line?

please advice smile.gif

Hi there, I'm working with citigroup too.

The thing is, if you are interested in fraud or internal audit..this job will be a suitable stepping stone for you. Otherwise it's gonna be a big waste of your time. Haven't been here for long...but boy, i feel like screaming at the thought of staying here for long!!

I'm not sure how bright your prospect is at moving to a different career path albeit still in banking line though, but if you work more than 4 years there, you can apply to transfer (provided there's a posting) within citi whether local or overseas.

Like a previous member said, experience here is limited...when I was in training, a senior offered to write a report for the new hirees on behalf of our supervisor because she said that she can then put something else on her resume besides 'copying and pasting'. One senior has left only after a few months here, and all the seniors I've talked to are planning to leave...

To another member who said that menara citibank is full, well, for your information, wisma char yong is full too!! So we don't know where you will be put when you come in. It's like every week there are new hirees.

Me personally, i'm getting out of there. The seniors are great, my supervisor is cool, my colleagues are easy to get along with, but the job isn't what I want to do. Anyone can do it. It sucks the living soul out of me. I regret accepting it, because I would like to be free to go for interviews.

And a member mention about OT...the OT is only for weekends. On weekdays if you work 3 hours after your required hours, you'll get meal allowance of RM20.
*
Came back from the interview. Honestly, i won't be taking the offer also.
The first thing that came into my sight is, lotsa people staring at the monitor. very quiet environment... it feels like the computer lab in my uni's library.
then the malay lady interviewed me. she was friendly and easy to get along type and very straight to the point.
but then! she started the conversation with all the bad stuff about this position: long working hours, boring job, won't get to meet people..and keep encouraging me to work with my dad (we have family business but it's not the stuff that i wanna work).
i guess they have too high turn over rate and dowan to waste time training the new ones and after a month or two, they leave.

I once had a chat with a nice chap at a hawker stall who once headed Public Bank's finance department, he saw my Citi tag and immediately pointed out to me that the exposure is limited and that career wise, I ain't going anywhere. I wholeheartedly agree and told him that it would only me temporary before I get a better job.

Y'all wanna know the hard truth, a senior who recently left said this to me, the people who stay here lacks ambition. A little bit harsh, but there's truth to it and it left me pondering at my options as well.

How's your job hunt going? I find it quite tricky to make up an excuse to be able to go for an interview...There's a great opportunity that just appeared today which requires me to take an afternoon off sometime this week but I feel quite bad thinking of taking time off of work, but then again I see my seniors constantly being absent. Is it normal in your department?

People still want to join probably because of the name I guess. It's quite tempting really for me to try to discourage potential new hirees from accepting the offer!

Very common for my department. Most of my seniors are always on leave or constantly taking MC. There's a guy has taken MC 5 times in 3 months.

Don't feel bad taking the day off to attend interviews. You'd rather feel sorry for the company than feel sorry to yourself right?

My time at CTSM is almost 1 year, after that I'll be venturing into investment banking. Good luck to y'all CTSMers.

Bro, with your 1 year experience, you should be asking for 25 - 30% more than what you are earning la. Then from there u can nego with your future employers lo. This is what most people are doing right now la. Don't stay too long ya haha

I think I will resign as soon as the 12 months is up. Can't take the crap that they are throwing at me. They are turning me into a robot.

well, i don't think anyone was asking for 25~30% within the company after they had been there for 1 year, at least none that i know of...

of course, if i were to jump company, i do hope that i will get a 20~30% raise instead of a paycut, lol...

on what u meant that when your 12 months is up, i'll assume that u will resign when u reach ur 1st year + 2 months of notice, a total of 14 mths perhaps?

well, i hope u do get a job before doing so...=), same here, i'll get a job before resigning...obviously a better one with a higher pay and better job prospect...hopefully...XD

I actually meant 25 - 30% outside the company smile.gif

I think when Citigroup gives a 30% increment is when pigs fly and hell freezes over LOL.

Probably 14 months of employment and that's it. Its been a horrible experience for me. Good luck to you and your future job. Make sure it pays better and you can go home at 6 pm haha.

well, not really on that fact, but, if u quit your job while u don't have an existing one...

1) you lose bargaining power with your new employer

2) it's ironic, but also, it's harder for you to find a job...especially if u don't get a new job asap

anyway, civil service = gov based job?...well, not really what i'm looking for...are you?

Is that so? Hmm, maybe I should get a job before quitting then. I dunno. Maybe some employers could be particular about such things. Although, I'd like to point out that one of my colleagues found a new job while still being employed with Citi but the new employer was unwilling to wait for 2 months, so he was rejected since there was another candidate who was ready to work immediately.

Most government based job pays well these days. Salary structure has been revised to be more competitive. Its sad to see some MNCs paying lower than the government, namely Citigroup hehe. If u do get the opportunity to join the civil service, u should try la. Its sooo much better than private. Life in government is less stressful and you'd live longer.

Everyone seems to be trying to be a PTD (Pegawai Tadbir Dan Diplomatik). Pretty glamorous job title and great opportunities but damn difficult to get in haha.

well, that's true too, but out there, there are ppl who can work only with a 3 month notice period, and they are willing to wait if that person is "that" good...so, i guess your friend could just be as good as the other person i guess?...and also, some companies would opt to buy u out too if you are really that important...so...

well, of course, you can't have only 1 face of the coin, but i do believe that if u keep your job while hunting for a newer one will benefit you more in comparison to when u quit only u find a new job, your choice though...you could also survey with other colleagues and ask their opinion as well...but most fresh grads don't know the dangers of quitting before finding for a new job...of course, there are lucky ones which are able to get a better job after quitting then apply, but who knows bout your luck, right?XD

well, i don't really hope for an "easy" job lifestyle, i just hope that i could "enjoy" my job, gain useful experiences and have a decent salary for it...lol

Everyone seems to be trying to be a PTD (Pegawai Tadbir Dan Diplomatik). Pretty glamorous job title and great opportunities but damn difficult to get in haha.

I am one of ex-AML analysts too!! Firstly let me reiterate here, the way one department functions do not determine the whole organization culture. I have prepared checklist on what employees expect from a job and i have highlighted how it works in AML:

MONEY: You work for 12 HOURS per weekday and you are paid with RM2400 per month before EPF,SOCSO&TAX DEDUCTION. After all deductions, you will receive RM2120. Then take the nett amount of RM2120/22(average working days)=RM96.36 After that, minus with your daily expenses to work, RM96.36-RM15(breakfast,lunch&dinner)-RM5(transportation fees)=RM76.36 Next kindly take your nett pay per day DIVIDED by your 12 hours work, you may receive the nett amount of your earning per hour RM76.36/12= RM6.40 This is how much you sell your time!

MANAGEMENT SKILLS: I seriously think they need to get adhoc management class! I personally curious if skills developed from personal attribute or undergoing classes! Dear management, please learn to differentiate between appearing AGGRESSIVE and PROFESSIONAL.

COLLEAGUES: Still fine. But you are not here to make friends, are you?

ENVIRONMENT: Quiet environment unless you sat beside or near to noisy and loud people.

KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS DEVELOPED: extremely limited and you don't know what to write in your resume and where to go after taking up this job! 90% of their staffs staying there because they don't know where to go and they are afraid to take bigger steps! but now i see many of them quitting this job and start finding new job as they finally realised the importance of moving out from this hell!

well, that's true too, but out there, there are ppl who can work only with a 3 month notice period, and they are willing to wait if that person is "that" good...so, i guess your friend could just be as good as the other person i guess?...and also, some companies would opt to buy u out too if you are really that important...so...

well, of course, you can't have only 1 face of the coin, but i do believe that if u keep your job while hunting for a newer one will benefit you more in comparison to when u quit only u find a new job, your choice though...you could also survey with other colleagues and ask their opinion as well...but most fresh grads don't know the dangers of quitting before finding for a new job...of course, there are lucky ones which are able to get a better job after quitting then apply, but who knows bout your luck, right?XD

well, i don't really hope for an "easy" job lifestyle, i just hope that i could "enjoy" my job, gain useful experiences and have a decent salary for it...lol

I read your formula and it is the stupidest thing that I have ever seen and did not bother to finish reading your other points.

How can you take the Pay, DEDUCT YOUR EXPENSES and then only divide by 12 and consider that your nett hourly rate? Stupidest idiot I have ever seen.

So if I drive a ferrari and my transportation is RM20 instead because of the petrol consumption is higher, so my nett hourly rate is lower? If I eat more than RM5 per meal my hourly rate will be lower?

There are people that spend up their entire monthly salary. So those people nett hourly pay is RM0 ?

You are paid a certain amount to get the job done. How much of the money you consume to complete the task is YOUR PROBLEM.

Hi guys, i got called up for the interview too on Monday.
Well before i read this thread i thought working in Citi is kind of glamorous but now it's kinda surprise to see so many negative comments here too.

the main reason i wanna enter and nail this offer is to gain more experience since it seems that the reasons i flunk previous interview or not qualified for the job is because lack of experience.

i wonder what is the prospect of this AMLA? and will the working experience in position help in future job hunting if i were to choose different career path (prolly like credit analyst) but still in banking line?

please advice smile.gif

I know someone doing the exact same role in Citibank. She couldn't wait to get out! While the Citibank brand IS glamorous, you need to be doing the right jobs. For example, Corporate and Investment Banking @ Citicorp. Or Emerging Markets Credit Trading (Treasury Division). But I think both departments were moved to Singapore recently.

AMLA to Credit Analyst? Funny, but no. AML is like 0.001% what a Credit Analyst must be aware of. If you seriously want to be a Credit Analyst, I suggest you start off by doing actual Credit work. And go complete your CCP Business or equivalent certification. Get used to presenting your papers to a bunch of senior people as credit analysts will be required to present his/her case to the Credit Committees /EXCO/BOD. That is, if you survive pushing your case thru Credit Underwriting whose sole responsibility would be to tear your case a new one.

I agree with Kelvin. Your math has some serious issues man. But you are spot on with your take about the prospects of the job. The AMLA role is very very limited in job scope and skills transferability. This is obvious. How can you grow into a more challenging role when all you seem to do is to do the same stuff over and over again? What is/has been the takeaway from your X years on the job?

@kelvin_tan
LOL!!! This is not even a formula, everything's based on budget and assumptions! doh.gif Basically the RM5 per meal and RM5 transportation are valued on current market rate. In average having a decent meal in KL area roughly cost about RM5 and fluctuates somewhere there. Besides the example I took for RM5 (average public transportation cost) for FRSEHIES, as you don't expect them to own a car since it may be their first job and i took the example of taking public buses, trains and taxis which appear to be common cases here.

Besides that, the example of driving ferrari doesn't make you sound any smarter as you gave one in a million example! I guess you have been working for some years, therefore i expect you to be more realistic! blush.gif

P/S- Hi all, everything's based on my personal expenditure there! If you are offended, kindly ignore my post. Thanks~ thumbup.gif

I am just finding it ridiculous that you judge the net hourly pay based on after u reduce your own expenditure. Your expenses is your own problem.

How do you know the candidate doesnt live in the apartment next to the working place?

How do you know the candidate tapao everyday from home and save a lot of money?

I also expect that you have been working for some time. So do come up with smarter equations to justify your points.

@kelvin_tan
Let me reiterate here, COMMON CASES please. I seriously think you need to sign up for averaging and costing classes.
Take a look on how you highlight your points:
i. So if I drive a FERRARI and my transportation is RM20 instead because of the petrol consumption is higher, so my nett hourly rate is lower? If I eat more than RM5 per meal my hourly rate will be lower?
-If you are driving ferrari, i dont see any point why you want to be AML analyst? It's not going to add value to you in terms of $ & career prospects. I still can excuse you if you took other examples like local cars (Myvi the most common), Toyota Vios, Honda City, Suzuki Swift?
ii. How do you know the candidate doesnt live in the apartment next to the working place?
-Ask yourself, how much percentage of your colleagues' apartments next to your office? If everyone's staying next to the office, i am the happiest person in earth as i could escape the jam hassle! rclxms.gif
iii. How do you know the candidate tapao everyday from home and save a lot of money?
-Kindly ask yourself if you tapao everyday from home? It's hilarious!

I respect you as being, i would not call you stupid but i would describe you as "not smart enough" thou! nod.gif

I'm blasting your EQUATION. You calculate your nett hourly pay based on after deducting your expenditure. That is hillarious. You are paid a certain amount by the company. How you wanna deal with it with relevance to expenditure is TOTALLY YOUR PROBLEM.

Correct your equation and my scenario is no longer applicable. Even Quasi-Suave thinks your maths has some serious issues. Whether I am smart enough or not, let forumers be the judge. Neither do I care really.


Added on March 15, 2011, 6:02 pmFor all the conditions that I have listed out. You cannot deny that there is a possiblity it will happen. Common or not it is not the case. It can happen.

But for your equation, LOL !

seriously workbook, it's not your maths, but it's the way you think...not everyone thinks like you do, so there will be a difference in how one thinks...but i must say that i too don't sit on your bench this time

when you open up with those experiences of yours, well...it's not totally wrong, but it's not right as well...it's your experience, hence, it should and will be applicable to you, but not all

and if you really are earning like what? rm6.50 an hour...and you stay in the office for 12 hours...you earn about rm70~80 a day minus expenses nett, well, it sounds pretty much okay...but, not all will stay in the office for 12 hours...and to be honest, the job here is not as bad as some other companies out there, take auditing for example, you get a pay which either could be a little lower or nearly the same, but during peak time, you stay until 3am in the office...now, how will you equate that?

the only thing limiting here is where are you going to go next...it's pretty much citi in there, so your job scope would be either a transfer of dept, compliance or something else that you can cook up with the transferable skills you could gain from the company, it's not much, i agree, but you will notice that in the end, you do and will learn something

as for your question which is directed to me, i for one would say that i am not in the position to represent each and every staff who left there...and my reasons if i would like to resign, i already stated it, cool?=)

Nvm.. let it go. Even when he has no arguement he concludes in a mockery way (in my opinion).

No point argueing further. Let the thread be about what its supposed to be which is AML analyst.

Gross hourly wage is derived from gross salary divided by total hours worked.

Net hourly wage is net salary (gross salary minus EPF, Socso, Income Tax etc) divided by total hours worked.

Is this so difficult a concept to grasp?

Depends. If you are NOT working now, and desperately need a job...then go ahead.

If you are already working and thinking about a career change, then I seriously suggest that you reconsider. Ask yourself this - what do I WANT to do in the next 5 years?

You'd have to weigh your options. What are the chances of your securing an offer from the other interviews? I think only you can really answer this.

If you wanna play safe, you can go ahead and accept the Citibank offer but bear in mind that it might be difficult for you to attend interviews once you start work. It may also be difficult for you to leave once you start work as you would have by then signed the employment contract and would hence need to abide with the notice period etc.

If you haven't notice already, the employment market is heating up. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of opportunities for someone of caliber. Vacancies within then banking industry is so dire that banks are pinching staff from other banks and paying off the 3 months notice on top of the 6 months penalty under BNM GP4.

Good luck.

Your writing indicates that you are from the human resources or have experience from this department.

You quote the BNM GP4, tightening of the labour markets, and what not to illustrate, delineate, and perhaps reprimand those who have an inkling of an idea in leaving the corp for greener pastures to just nip it in the bud.

It is customary of those from this side of the fence to come out with such an outlook. While you have indeed defended the rights of an employer over their employees, you have glaringly failed to at least highlight the rights of an employee or staff over the former.

Ok, lets cut the story short and provide a case in point. Not so sure what is the practice over at your corp but if staffs were indeed made to work on declared public holidays, are they paid in accordance to the stated law (read: Employment Act 1955)? Rumors from the the mill indicates that this is not the case or is it? Care to pray tell?






QUOTE
Pay public holiday rates, bosses told
KUALA LUMPUR: Employers must pay their employees public holiday rates if the latter are asked to work today, says the human resources minister.
This is in accordance with the provisions of the Employment Act 1955.

Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said alternatively, employees can opt for a paid day off on another day as stipulated under Section 8 of the Public Holidays Act 1951.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had on Wednesday declared Dec 31 a public holiday to mark the national football team's win in the AFF Suzuki Cup for the first time, ending a 14-year wait to lift the cup.
"When it falls on a public holiday, and when employers need workers, then they must oblige and pay accordingly," Subramaniam told a press conference here yesterday.

Employees can lodge complaints with the Labour Department if their employers fail to pay them public holiday rates.

In Kuala Terengganu, the state government announced yesterday that since the public holiday fell on Friday, which is the weekend holiday in Terengganu, it will now be replaced on Sunday.

The announcement was posted on the state government's official portal, www.terengganu.gov.my.

This also means that classes for the new school year in Terengganu, which were supposed to begin on Sunday, will now commence on Monday instead.

In Kota Baru, the Kelantan government has also declared Sunday a public holiday.

Meanwhile, the Orientation Day and registration for Primary One students for the 2011 school year will take place as planned, the Education Ministry said in a statement yesterday.

"(Still,) parents are advised to contact the respective schools to find out when they are having their Orientation Day, as it is up to the school's administration," said the ministry's deputy director-general Datuk Noor Rezan Bapoo Rashim.

It is understood that schools that have scheduled their Orientation Day for today are proceeding with it, as the new school year begins on Monday.

"The ministry has already sent out letters to all schools, notifying them that they must complete all preparations before the first day of the school year.

"Schools that fail to do so will receive show-cause letters and must answer to their state education director," said Noor Rezan.

Alternatively, schools can opt to replace the public holiday at a later date.

Me, in HR? Heaven forbid! I'm currently an analyst by trade, attached to a bank here in KL. But many years ago (in an unrelated career path) I have had the "privilege" of being called up to Labour Court as a witness in a labour case brought by an employee against my employer for unlawful termination. But I digress....

The job market is currently an employee's market (well, in banking at least) as highlighted in my earlier post where one of my colleagues was "snatched" by a rival bank with 24hr notice. In fact, just today I was speaking to my HR Relationship manager who lamented having to fill 6 medium/senior positions left vacant recently. To top it off, my SME Banking division has launched a staff get staff campaign which rewards staff members with cash if they successfully bring someone into the organization.

My interest here is to provide guidance for the betterment of the few within the lowyat community who seek advice in their careers. Why? Well, just because I wished I had someone to guide me in my career when I was fresh out of uni.

I'm hardly someone who (and I quote) "illustrate, delineate, and perhaps reprimand those who have an inkling of an idea in leaving the corp for greener pastures to just nip it in the bud".

There are maverick employers who skirt around the EA 1955. Just like in any industry (anything really, even religion - heard the case about priests molesting churchboys?) there are bound to be some bad apples. Speaking strictly from a person in the banking industry, the EA 1955 is strictly complied with. For the lower level employees, my employer is additionally bound by the NUBE Collective Agreement.

In my years as a salaryman, I have been a clerk, an engineering site supervisor, an office administrator (among other things) before I graduated and settled with a career in finance. Early in my working life, I've been asked to work on Sundays and Public Holidays. But I was always paid double or triple respectively.

As an executive, I'm expected to exercise judgment when it involves working on a rest days/public holidays as I no longer qualify for Sunday pay/rest day pay or OT. But I do work on my off days occasionally, on my own accord, finishing up my work at home when there is a need for it. And I do it because I want to get the job done, nothing more, nothing less.

Stay away from Citigroup. You should continue looking for a better job. Don't just accept a job offer for the sake of having a job. Trust me, I made that mistake and wished I never accepted the damn bloody offer in the first place. It leads to nowhere and hurts my insides, literally.

Guess what, I have been assigned to tick checkboxes for 10 hours everyday. It doesn't get any worse than that. Put that degree of yours to good use. You owe it to your family, you owe it to yourself.

well, i just rejected the offer though i knew i will be shortlisted cuz they really need people. u should see the office man. i was kinda terrified. the office was nice, clean and bright but once u look at the working crowd and the scene...lotsa people staring at the monitor, scrolling, browsing quietly. u can literally see blankness and misery on their face. not to say im criticizing but, i rather leave my misery on sales and stuff. if the pay higher, then nvm la.
luckily i did research here, else i would end up there.

@Quasi-Suave: my case was exactly same like yours. when i went interview with citigroup, i have a pending reply from OCBC, few upcoming interviews too and desperately need a job. I thought, if i can't nail the others am taking this offer. I really perform well during other interviews, got better offer and i rejected citigroup. u should really wait and finish all your interviews first. i even told all the interviewers i need more time to consider all available options and if they really want u, they will wait.

Well kinda sad to see the whole 5 pages of critics and myself is in CTSM now lol.
But not in AML and in other unit.
I've just started here and this month would be considered my 4 months.
The first I joined the company I have a feeling I will leave soon....
Not the environment but the limitation of learning here.
I don't get to learn much and basically everything is systemized.
You just have take this figure and pluck into the system and I've been doing the same thing over and over.

Kinda bored if you ask me. One thing is I can see a lot of people are relaxing here as the workload is not much, only on month end. Most of the time is goyang kaki...
The reason I chose here because I couldn't withstand my previous Hong Leong Bank comp.
It was a one hell there.. If you're saying here underpaid, you haven't even seen the worst one. I regretted myself for spending 3 years over there and gained nothing but dissapointment through resignation....

I guess I have to search for a better ones now.. Any good intro? Haha

You won't be thinking of the money when you do it for more than a month for 10 hours plus. Trust me on this.

What you would be thinking is how to end the misery.

Consider yourself lucky since you get to talk to 120 different people. The only contact I have is with my manager. The whole day. 10 hours. My colleagues? They're fuc**** pricks.

Whatever I can do to prevent the clueless from descending into the depths of hell.

If you've played Diablo 2 then you would be familiar with The Pandemonium Fortress. Well, this thread is like a Pandemonium Fortress. I am Archangel Tyrael and I'm telling them that it is not a good idea to go down to hell. There are hellspawns coupled with unimaginable horrors.

You will die a slow death...

P/S - I am currently looking for a new job biggrin.gif

Even if there's nothing to learn there or a boring job, I believe after 2-3 years on the job, there could possibly be advancement opportunities? Like to a team supervisor role or maybe internal mobility as well?

Secondly, seems like the one with the negative reputation is CTSM only right? I believe it doesn't apply to the whole Citi Malaysia?

well if it's the role, then I'm sure you can set objectives for yourself, try do stand out from the others and maybe after 2-3 years you get promoted to senior / team leader position? The role maybe boring but if you do it well, I'm sure you can still progress. Or managers clearly stated that these roles here have no advancement opportunities at all?

considering to pass the offer. It sounds good to me cuz i'm quite lazy to see people, but i'm looking for a job that offers me learning and experience, since i'm still new (but not fresh grad, i used to work at Bank M, another road to hell... low basic, 1600 only. 2400 is more promising... smile.gif

2 jokers just abruptly left my department. You can have their job hehehehe. Hell, take mine too, I ain't staying.

My boss is running around like a headless chicken looking for replacements from other departments. During my miserable stint in this shithole, an epiphany struck me right in the face, happiness is more important than the money they pay u. I earned RM 2800 last month because those F****** forced me to work for 12 hours everyday. Claim meal allowance kaw kaw.

Earned enough money to buy Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, Shogun 2 and Dragon Age 2 but no time to play. What's the point? Your weekdays are devoted completely to Citigroup.

hmm i feel the judgement is quite biased and one sided here...
let me give a more neutral perspective considering that some of the people who has been giving negative comments looks set on their views.

I've also been working in CTSM AML for half a year, and like what a few said the working hours can be a pain... but then again, what real job doesn't have long working hours? If you are an auditor, you'll even have to work pass the 1am mark.
Furthermore, let me clarify that working overtime is solely up to you. You get to choose whether you want to stay back or not, no one is forcing you. That applies on saturdays too. The team leaders might ask everyone to come in on saturday, but i can guarantee you most of the analyst doesn't.

And what job doesn't expect you to work hard? You don't gain/learn anything from jobs with no expectations of you. I find it amusing seeing people who are working in the AML department whinning and crapping about all these stuff when that's what you generally get in working life. If you want to go back early and not work hard every single day, then go do sales.

Another point, some said there is no growth in CTSM AML. While i agree to a certain point that it is abit harder when you want to further your career in a different path since AML is a specialized field, however if you are interested in compliance then this will be a good starting point.
Furthermore i disagree that there is no future here. Depending on your attitude at work, the team leaders really do take notice.
I have been given opportunities and exposure in just 6 months that others wouldn't even get in years in terms of management and organizational. For that i'm grateful and lucky for having a really good TL (though she can be scary and strict)

This department is generally still new and a growing one, so it IS easier for further growth. But don't expect to earn alot since this is afterall a cost center, not a profit making one.
And as to those who are wondering why they are still recruiting lots of people, it is because this hub caters to Asia pacific. All the Citi regions will be based in KL. It is only natural to employ more people to cover the workload for that.

Working 12 hours for RM 2.4K. I think those in Citigroup are working wayyy too hard for a peanut pay. Better options exist elsewhere. Also don't compare Citigroup employees to auditors, two completely different world. They earn way much better after a few years so the long hours are justified and pretty damn worth the effort. Here, we work hard and get nothing in return. I had a friend who angrily left because he got RM 60 for his increment. This guy is hardworking and rarely makes mistakes and yet the company shits on him.

And since when do employees get to choose when they can go home in Citigroup. Its almost like a dictatorship in here. THE BOSS decides not the employees. If I had gone home at 7.30 or 8, I would been terminated long time ago. If I had the choice to choose when to do OT or go home earlier than 9 pm, I wouldn't even be on this thread. You must be working in one of those makan pisang minum kopi department. If that's the case, lucky you. Soon, the big wigs will notice the low yield coming from your department and make some transfers. Come to my department and then welcome to the suck. There is a reason why the company's slogan is called "Citi never sleeps" hehehe

I have been "promoted" a few times already (which means more work with no salary increment). One senior remarked, find another slave to do the grinding. Yeah, team leaders do take notice. That is to find a fool who is willing to do more work for no increment whatsoever haha. Moreover, the exposure is a joke. You never really leave the office, don't meet with anyone outside the organization, always doing paperwork and stare at the monitor for countless hours. Great exposure there buddy.

They are mass hiring because people are leaving in droves and Citigroup's foolish attempt to expand some of their departments. This is more apparent in Penang since they actually shrinking their operations in KL and moving most of the trade operations to Penang.

You have only worked for half a year at Citi, which means only half a leg into the depths of hell. The nightmares will come eventually. Whether or not you will whine or curse about it, it doesn't really matter. The people can decide for themselves whether its worth working for this organization.



Let me summarize it for the newbies, if you have a high tolerance for pain and don't mind working long hours for RM 2.4K and dislike social interactions, this is the job for you. "Fantastic job and mind bogglingly fun" That was sarcasm btw ahahahaha.

To anyone else who is none of the above and wants to live longer and perhaps want to buy a brand new BMW by 30, find another job and stay away from this job

i would not say that both sides are right, neither are they wrong...and yes, different divisions of AML will experience different level of stress i would say

more like if you mix both positive and negative sides, that is where i would say the "right side" of the story is

compliance wise, it is true that you could go there with this job, but i would comment that having a legal/accounting background would make you more appealing than a non-of that degree background (lets say, IT)

rm2.4k is not that low, but not that high either, there are ppl in the non banking/finance industry are earning anywhere between 1.8~2.4k, and of course the finance industry is earning between 2.4~3.5k as fresh grads...the higher end of the salary are reserved for mgt trainee programs though

most banks, however offer fresh grads at the higher end of the salary rate in comparison to other companies, but if you are comparing banking with banking, aml at citi is offering at the low point i will agree on that

however, work is not difficult i would say, just really tedious...lol, so, if you enjoy such jobs, (and yes, there will be ppl out there which enjoys jobs as so), then it's not wrong for them to continue working here

some reality check as well:
1) there's no pain here...ppl don't physically torture you...lol
2) a lot of jobs out there will not enable you to purchase a bmw at the age of 30, but of course, if you land yourself in here, this is also one of the jobs that will not let you gain this achievement (i could be wrong though, as salary wise could ranged from 5~10k a month, and what your priority you set with your $$ as, lol...lets say that if you were to prioritize purchasing a bmw at the age of 30 with that salary of yours then you could make me and enclave eat our words...XD)
3) i would not say that this job brings no future, however, if you are more towards ppl oriented, this job will not be your cup of tea

last piece of advice, banking industry does pay more than non banking industry, thus, if you decided to come in, and found that the job is not suitable for you in the next year or so, prepare to experience a salary cut when you switch industry...and of course, the "experience" you have as an AML analyst

I would like to correct you that banking industry pays more than the rest. This may not be necessarily true. There are other industries that pay on par, if not better than banking.

A few would be in IT Consulting, Oil and Gas, Business Consulting.

@Lostwanderer,

Citigroup doesn't torture its employees physically. They torture you mentally with the 12 hours of work everyday.

Buying a BMW at 30 is kacang putih for those in sales. Successful ones la.

Future at AML? You'll need to stay at Citigroup for a few years to find out ahehehehehe.


@kelvin tan

Some government agencies are also paying more than banks. KWSP and PTD pays RM 2.6K basic to fresh grads. Its absurd that some banks pay less than the government.

@ kelvin

yea, i agree with you, but finance and banking industry is one of the better paid ones as well...=D

@ enclave

well, yea, sales is one of the better jobs out there if you really can make it work...but are "you" one of them...?XD, i don't mean you, you, as in the reader "you", also, a lot would not be able to cope with the sales pressure as it could be worse than being in here...and when they mean targets...they mean it more than here i believe

and yes, you will need to stay a few years in AML to find your future, same with other jobs...i know you don't actually mean that way, but...XD

also, although the pay cut has been quite a while back, but i think the salary range from now is 2.4k ~2.6k iirc for new grads...

during my time, it's 2.6~3k iirc...=D

yes fresh grad salary average ranges from 2.2-2.8k
That being said, 2.4k is still decent for fresh grad.

and i agree with what lost wanderer said, don't really agree with enclave recruit. If he calls this job hell, he apparently hasn't had much experience working elsewhere. I've seen and been in worse jobs in worse banks (noted that CTSM is not a bank).

And while i'm sorry that enclave doesn't get the exposure and experience from meeting people on the outside, i can't say the same thing for me. I had the opportunity to meet and liaise with management from different departments in Citibank AND CTSM. That being said, i was lucky to be given the chance for that exposure.

And my team (AML is a department, and what you are working under is a team. I don't even know if you understand what you're talking about) is actually the top performing team, so once again you seem to be missing your point.

I have no idea what is the problem with Enclave who seems die hard against CTSM, for all i know he probably doesn't even work there anymore. Maybe he got axed or something and is pissed off.

Oh wow, meeting up with people within the organization. Great exposure indeed. You might as well include your boss as one of your "so called" exposure. Why don't you put that in your resume and see how far that'll get you. Ridiculous. So you are saying that you've seen and been in worse jobs than CTSM. That's not my problem. Everyone's talking about CTSM since its a thread about AML at CTSM. Geez.

Oh please, getting axed? Seriously, don't bother posting if you've run out of arguments and start throwing baseless insults. It shows how immature you are. Half a year in this company and you want to talk big here about your "experiences". Kids these days, it is folly.

I speak the truth and if you don't like it, it is too damn bad. Its a forum. Go cry in a corner somewhere else levanter.

lol all i can say is that the 'lil kid' above will get a surprise soon enough. I'll be the first one to cheer when something happens.
He obviously has only worked in 1 company in his short working lifespan, so i'm not going to bother defending my position with a twerp.

and for your info, citibank is a different organization compared to ctsm, hence outside the organization. Geez he brags about working there for long and knowing alot when he can't even tell the difference. Why don't you state your name here in full if you're so sure of yourself? Can guarantee you this kid will make excuses from shying away from this.

I don't even know you, degenerate. Why would I want to reveal my identity to you on a public forum. You've made another ridiculous post. Look who's talking, kid.

Crazy fool. I don't even know why this prick starts going psycho on me for expressing my opinions. Again, if you can't accept my opinions, too damn bad. I'll be cheering when something bad happens to your life.

As much as you can express your opinions, others may do the same.

You potentially working longer than another person doesn't make your opinion the right one. Learn to argue with points and facts instead of making arguements like a KID ! You mind as well start off by saying "ooh I've live longer than him so I'm the right one and he's definately wrong"

Asking others to reveal their name etc in public forum. Lets see you start off how about that?

I'm commenting from a neutral perspective and it seems to me you're the real kid from high school.

lol theres always the good and the bad in every job, however everything that comes out from you is negative.
its pretty obvious to everyone that all your opinions and views are based on some personal grudge you have against the department/boss.
so all your opinions in your posts are practically irrelevant and irrational. I'm not gonna bother replying anymore to some twerp who has no rationality in everything he says.


@kelvin
i'm not even going to bother arguing with you if you haven't been following up on all his posts. All his criticisms are all based on emotions with hardly any facts. Working late? low pay? any dumbass who works knows thats what you get when you just started out working in the working world. You can practically see him trolling in all the threads on ctsm aml just trying flag recruits away with his nonsense.

this thread is very entertaining, i just registered with lowyat.net so that i can post comments biggrin.gif..i am also an ex CTSM AML analyst, hahahaha

Enclave, you leave too much clues abt yourself..i guess you must be from "Wxxxxxxxx" department? smile.gif

i do agree with the comments stated in this thread...the good ones, and the bad ones.

actually, this job has good and bad side of it, depends on how you look at it..no job is perfect, just like in life...nothing is perfect..

this job is very mundane, tedious and DAMN boring..no doubt abt it.

but i do know a senior analyst who have worked in this AML department for more than 3 years and progressed as well as got promoted through different roles..

First, as an AML Analyst. Then, got promoted to Senior Analyst. Then, became a QA Analyst. After that, if not mistaken, got promoted to QA Manager. And now finally is going through a leadership program (One and a half years if not mistaken), a program for outstanding employees (i think) to travel around different countries and take on different tasks.

But this senior is DAMN Gud. and i mean damn good. so, if you are a normal employee or so so one, i think dun bother la.

If good ones, i think still hard though coz i have seen and know a couple of good AML analysts who are working for almost 3 years or more but never get this kind of offer.

For those newbies working in CTSM KL as an AML analyst, if you want to progress further and expand your career in Citi, my advice is work hard like SHIT, don't complain (very important coz there are always ppl listening...BEWARE) and build your contacts with your colleagues, bosses, ppl in Citibank not just CTSM and you may get an opportunity like above.. hahahaha biggrin.gif

Anyway, i am just posting based on my opinion, no hard feelings towards anybody.

To those working in CTSM rite now, all the best! guess you all must be staring and crunching the comp rite now, huh? hehe biggrin.gif

i find this post quite amusing because there is so many ppl who come here and make decisions whether or not to accept a job based on rubbish comments from others.

i do agree the salary is on the low side but there is no one who forces you to work for 12 hours and weekend work is optional eventho some team leaders make it sound like it is not. but for a quick RM100 for 4 hours of work, i would say it is not a bad deal.

enclave, you winge in a public forum about resigning but you are still working there, if you are so good why havent you found another job?

it's amazing how ppl come on here and complain about resigning over months but hang around and take the salary, havent they heard of the saying 'if you're not happy, leave"

the mass hiring is due to expansion of what the kl office is doing not because of the ppl leaving, enclave should stop spreading wrong information on public forums.

the role does not require you to interact and jump around like sales ppl do, so if you like that sort of roles, dont apply!

if you get the job via the recruiter, you have to sign a contract that say you will work there for at least six month or you have to pay them one month of your salary. this is one of the reason why i cabut laugh.gif

Where got sign contract 6 months? I just accepted the offer 2 days ago and I browse thru the offer letter, there is no such thing you-must-work for 6 months. They only stated that you're a probation for 6 months and if you want to resign, you have to give 1 month prior notice or just pay 1 month salary and off you go. I am not sure though if your agent forced u to do so because as far as I know, CTSM never do such thing. This is not a special programme like MT or MA where you will be bonded.

Hi. I tell you what, it's really fun working in CTSM smile.gif . I am lucky 'cause my team members are all very friendly, smart, crazy and funny.

I know it's really boring to be an analyst, but that is the price you have to pay to be successful in future. Those who mentioned about there is lack of career project, no opportunity and bla bla actually knows nothing. They only think about $$$ la.

If you're really good, you may sit for CAMS exam (Certified Anti Money Laundering Specialist), ref : http://www.acams.org/ . The fee is $1.5k and the duration will be mostly around 6 to 12 months.

Okay, back to your question, HR will liaise with you within 2 weeks time. For me, I got the result on the spot after interviewed by the interviewers (2 person). They told me to just wait for a call from HR and I may start working immediately then.

They are doing mass hiring because as far as I know, they are opening a new office in CapSquare, near Masjid Jamek and will be opened on November and it will be the center for all AMLAs.

For your information, KL is the centre/hub for AMLA in asia pacific region. That is also the reason why they need many fresh analysts.

Goodluck anyway.

How much they are offering you, if you don't mind sharing?

Hi, for fresh graduates, they will pay you Rm2,425 (basic), meal allowance RM20 for > 3 hours (weekdays) and Rm100 for 4 hours (weekends). But if you have working experience previously, you may negotiate with the interviewer and don't forget to bring along your latest salary statement. If i'm not mistaken the max they can give you is 2.8k and the minimum is 2,425.

Wow, 6th June? You'd better give them a call. One thing for sure, the HR is quite inefficient. Gluck.

They said to me that I needs to wait until max. 2 weeks time. Hope I will be hired. Btw, I had been interviewed by Malay lady. She said that we need to achieve target but the target that need to be achieved was depend on the team. As for her, she was under 'General' team (I don't really know what is general team) and need to achieved at least 30 cases a day. I think the team was separate based on which country they handle.

Yup, max is 2 weeks. If you are not patient enough, ring the HR and ask for your status. They will tell you whether you've been accepted or not. Actually it takes 2 weeks to prepare your offer letter and to check all the necessary documents.

For our level, mostly the target is between 15 to 20 cases per day. They will be satisfied if you can complete at least 14 to 15 cases per day. There is also a chance where your case could be rejected due to insufficient information/lack of analysis. Which means, you'll have to improvise and resend it. So, there is no such thing as take for granted.

There will be also a graph which shows the performance for all members in your team and the leader will make comparison. smile.gif

Salary is totally depends on your experience. Not necessary 2.9k. It's all depends on experience and last drawn salary. It can go further up to 3.8k or maybe more.

Fresh grad salary is fixed at 2,425 for normal shift and 2.2k + 600 for night shift.

2 weeks time is for the HR to do their job and rings new hires within that frame. For more than 2 weeks, usually because lack of cert/ic/info, and name is related with any criminal/terrorist via NESS application. So, HR will need to do extra due diligence.

OR

Those who made it within 2 weeks time normally are the ones that preferable by company. When got offer rejected, then HR will give it to others.

Well, as a matter of fact...

The assistant manager title is just for display only...nothing more than a mere title...cos nearly everyone there are AM's...

However, that was a thing of the past though, for about 1year + ago...as right after that point of time, the dept was mass expanding and they made a decision to pay cut and provide a lesser rank to those new hires, including of a lesser annual leave as well

fizzy may be one of those lucky ones to get the AM title at this point of time i guess...if she's a fresh grad that is

This hokkienlang is a guy who seems to be so frustrated because he didn't get 3k bonus for 2011. He keeps complaining about bonuses. You don't even have a degree, yet the company give you a chance to prove yourself. Instead, you backstab the company and spreading false facts.

I know you... we know who you are. Bear that in your lame mind.

Dear all,


Looking at all these comments, i understand how you guys feel, the frustrations and the dilemma because I have went through all these.

Let me introduce myself, I am 1 of the ex-aml staff, during its initial stage. I do not deny that there is a great change of mgmt, especially the top management since the last subprime crisis which greatly affects the working environment, culture and the employee benefits. Understand all of these issues and foresee that company will need to take a long long time to recover its financial strength to be able to give its employee a good benefits and career prospect, adding to this "cost cutting" is not just for CTSM staffs but also affected those at Menara too ( I will say " Global Scale Cost Cutting"), i decided to leave. Today, I can said I have no regrets and glad that I choose to leave and made a right decision.

These are my opinions and advise to a few categories of you there:-

1) For those that feels that your life purpose/mission is to work for Citi ( Citi never sleeps), to serve Citi's shareholders interest, then by all means stay there & work the rest of your life there. Do not force your thoughts on other people. shakehead.gif

2)For those feels that there is potential, hoping a miracle to come and is waiting, at the same time despair unsure.gif over the management and leadership of the dept icon_question.gif . My advise is learn to understand how the whole AML works for your career advancement, how the whole CTSM works for your career advancement, how the whole Citi works for your career advancement and most importantly how the skills and experience you gain in AML can be " transferable/bridge" to your dream. Ask yourself this question, " How can I use the skills and experience gain in AML at other area/job?" By then, you will have the answer and know what to do. rolleyes.gif

3) For those planning to leave and looking for opportunity elsewhere, my advise is do not give up. Keep trying and I am sure there is a place for you as long as you are "WILING". Once you decide to leave, do not look back and turn back. There is a chinese saying " A good horse does not turn back". So , are you the good horse? biggrin.gif Here, I wish you all the BEST rclxms.gif

4) For those wonder if you should take up the job offer and work for this dept, my advise to you is learn to understand your personality if its match with this job. If its yes, then take it ( hint: this job is a "high class" factory job, oops sorry no more high class but "medium class" factory job). If its not, find opportunity elsewhere. Please do not take a job because you are desperate for job, being unemployed for long, financial problem, etc. If its so, you will be disappointed. rolleyes.gif

5) For those that disagree with my opinion, well this is my opinion which I would like to share to others like -minded people. Like what I mentioned above " Do not force your thoughts on other people" and my opinions is always in "advise" basis, ultimate decision will be themselves. rolleyes.gif

Hope this helps some of you and all the BEST. thumbup.gif

Does anyone know, on which floor do the CTSM department is now in at CAPSquare? I meant the floor that an AMLA analyst would actually work in in CAPsquare?

Pls find below replies to ur Qs:-

1) Lots of smiley in your post, you yourself are actually quite scared to raise your voice, am i right?

Der tongue.gif The company is not mine; moreover Citi is just buying our time to help them in their never ending volume.Basic trade principle, u do not need me to teach u this basic, right? Decision maker to change the policy is not me & u too, so what is there to voice. If can change the situation, all these negative feedback about AML wont appear in this forum and there wont be such high turnover at AML. Situation will speaks it all.
tongue.gif

Well, Gen Y folks do not adapt themselves to the lame office politics, they learn as much as they could and blah when the time is right/things got very ugly.

You yourself called that "lame office politic", if you have edifying mindset, is there a need to adapt to it, to dwell in it? Pls use ur time & effort somewhere else better if you are proactive person... Talking to a cow.. yawn.gif

they learn as much as they could and blah when the time is right/things got very ugly.

I am definitely not the culprit to cause this bad time, so why am i oblige to stay & persevere for faults that is not mine... Der... Stupid... Gen Y is good at seizing opportunity when time is right; no more old story i work in this company for 20, 30 yrs, etc... Outdated & Old Fashion... Hello, now is the information age era... Wake up from your outdated world... doh.gif

Like what i have mentioned in my previous post, is your choice:-
1) For those that feels that your life purpose/mission is to work for Citi ( Citi never sleeps), to serve Citi's shareholders interest, then by all means stay there & work the rest of your life there. Do not force your thoughts on other people.

If personality assessment has nothing to do with career choice, then why do certified counselor use personality to determine one's career options. You yourself claimed that compliance dept is most rigid and boring dept; if you get a person that loves to meet people and travel around, will that person stay long? No acute mind to analysis situation, how to work in AML. doh.gif

Long working hours and mundane job. Crappy pay and mediocre benefits. A senior once told me, if you can survive at Citigroup for more than a year, you can survive anywhere else since this place is hell.

Its like stepping through the gates of hell. Serious.

People are somewhat friendly. Career growth? Let's put it this way, unless you stay for more than 5 years, you will be doing the same old shit with peanut pay without bonus (bonus is myth so I've heard). Whadaya expect, CTSM is a cost center, you ain't making money for the company so you definitely don't deserve the money that those in sales are earning.

As was mentioned, turnover rate is high. Really high. People leaving every 2 months haha. I see Goodbye and Farewell letters regularly. Oh and uhh, resignation notice period is 1 month for temporary staff and 2 months for permanent. Its a deterrence for people to leave BUT PEOPLE STILL LEAVE hahaha.

Interview process? Haha, one of the easiest interviews ever. They just basically ask you about yourself and "enlighten" you on crappy the job (must be willing to work at staggered hours, facing the monitor for 9 hours, anti-social/pro-introvert roles bla bla bla etc etc etc).

Have a nice day hehehehe. My advice, go join Dell or Agilent. Goyang kaki to the max smile.gif

Boring , mundane and routine, stressful job but the package is very very good if you can clock up at least 10 years experience. Banks are quoting packages of c.250k p.a. for experienced compliance officers.

hope my advice can help u or other people smile.gif

remind u, MONEY LAUNDERING n ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING ANALYST are not the same. one is the ''what does it mean by this act'' and the other one is ''what is the job scope'' don't be careless like me hehe

I have been offered to attend the interview from CTS as position Anti Money Laundering analyst on 24th this July. I am currently working at one of Private bank back office as global operations officer. Almost 1 year i have been gone through the stages of struggle and stressed over there. I have been working more than 9 hours in one day without any OT compensation. However I am still confuse, whether should I change my job? I am afraid if this job is more stresses than my the previous one. I want to change due to my salary not increases at all, by the way they are willing to increasing it but not to promises, maybe it's took time. So should I accepting this interview? icon_question.gif

What do you mean by that? I was recently invited for the interview as an AML analyst, so I am currently researching on the job reviews

I just interview for the position of AML Analyst. Is it weird that HR has sent to me documents to sign and fill up but I've not received a verbal offer? What's the onboarding process for Citibank because my previous job I received. job offer then only I was send documents to sign and fill up for them to do reference and background checks.

Are you from aml?
Is it a good career?

From what i have seen and heard. Aml have so many opportunities for jobs but i often see that people change company within 2-3 years based on linkedin , increment is bad bonus too and companies tend to hire fresh grad probaly due to low salary.
As for work. is not super hard and mostly just use logic n common sense but workload is alot with ot and backlog
