Dear all,

I was called to attend an interview with Citigroup Transaction Services for Anti Money Laundering Analyst position. Can anyone of u who had attended the interview for this position (or other positions) with Citigroup tell me how was the interview process? For those who r working or had been worked with Citigroup Transaction Services, can u guys tell me how is the working environment? and, how is the future career growth for this Anti Money Laundering Analyst position?

Ur input is highly appreciated..

Thanks...

I also applied for this position but I don`t know much about it... Anyone can explain a bit ?... Thanks...

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

ur comment somehow stop me to join CTSM 

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). 

Wow Public bank annual dinner got amber chia... wow...
Hmm... Citi group transaction services....

Do have several friends in Citi AML though. Pay ok ok...
21-22 days leave,
2 months contractual Bonus excluding performance Bonus.
Working time, depends on your department which region you are servicing.
Good report writing skills.
Curious mindset when investigating.

A lot of bad comments here for this position with CTSM 

I think i will reject the recruiter who called me for the interview only offer me rm2400+ which is lower than my current salary... 

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

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 received a call from a recruitment firm few weeks ago, according to them, this job has to work nearly 12 hours per day >.<

i pretty much feel that you do sound pretty bitter working here...u noticed that didn't ya?

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?

may i know what are the minimum qualifications to apply for this position?
having dilemma in finding jobs now T_T

well... i guess i have no choice .
what i ever thing i also will force my self to do it
because i am in learning stage and currently unemployment for half years already =.=''
no working experience at all
between, for this position, i have check out on the citi career website, there are not offer this position...
but i am quite interest so in this position leh....

never try never know ma
i like challenges

walan eh...
ctsm stands for what...don use short form leh
sime darby bit tough for me...
coz they only employ top student

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.

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!

if u believe you got a good job prospect coming up...and u like that job, i recommend u to just go for the interview...afterall, it's your future anyway...lol

my fren got offer from citigroup transaction service malaysia under money laundering. basically i want to know how much is the salary and is there a lot of benefits working with citigroup. she was a bit dissapointed abt all the bad thought on this citigroup. btw she is goin to take her offer letter next week. so do anyone here have any idea about her future job in citigroup?

@ Enclave

well, i'm here fore 1year already...and by the time i resign will add another 2 months to my working date...i had plans to leave when i hit my 1 year here though (since the day i joined), but i'm in no rush to leave...as in like i would like to join a company which pays comparable if not better salary and also, a well known mnc company...hopefully...lol

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

lol, even if u dun get a job by the end of 14 mths employment, u are quitting? that's bold...really, lol

thanks for your well wishes, hope the same for ya too...and seriously, most of the jobs will not really let u off by 6pm in malaysia...XD

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?

I'm not working now but I do have upcoming interviews with other companies. The job prospects and all is definitely better than this. The problem is if I reject this and I don't manage to land the other job I would end up with nothing! I cant keep Citigroup waiting for too long either. Feel so helplesss

how much they pay u to tick check boxes for 10 hrs 

I'm under xxxbank fraud department
and i have to make nearly 120 phone call per day
it's killing me, not because the volume, is the boredom 

has anyone serve as trade transaction associate with CTSM?
is it a better department or another hell?
i just had an interview regarding this position, but is in penang branch

lol, u still strolling ard here eh enclave? =)
