Any one has any idea regarding the starting pay of a management trainee in BAT?

high lor. But trust me la, the test is DAMN TOUGH

Could you be more specific? How tough is it? What aspects do they test us on? I'm interested in applying for BAT management trainee in few months time.

TS: Last time I asked the HR guy during career fair 2007. They told me management trainee is around RM2000, after the 2 years programme, then promoted to can't remember what position then earn around RM4k plus minus.

tough la. The test is real management trainee test. I did it and failed. Just 2 test, maths and english. I won't give further details but be prepared lor.

definitely more than RM2k working for BAT.

If i'm not mistaken, it was RM2.5K. My friend joined the first batch in year 2005, then he got promoted to RM3K-RM3.5K after a year, depends on performance.

I dono whether its that tough, but you can say 'tough' as in many ppl applied, and a few selected.

minimum cgpa is 3.5 points, right?

My advice since I have done the test. Whatever it is, it's CRAZILY tough and don't even think about the salary and benefits. Its good but can you pass the test?

Pawnage!

really??? even finance / accounting dept??? wat if i have a year plus experience... do they sponsor professional studies n give paid study leave ???

I think its 2.7k regardless of dept for mgmt trainee but the exams is hard to pass... 1/40 pass rate.

I've applied and successfully got chosen for BAT's Global Service Delivery (GSD) management trainee program. The HR in charge of the screening is the same as the management trainee program, hence the test is the same. In my honest opinion, the test is definitely not difficult. First part is a paper exam regarding critical mathematics and critical logical English.

After that you go through half a day continuous activities such as interviews, presentation and group discussions. The key is being confident and able to carry yourself. Everyone looks for leaders these days so you should know what to do if you want to get chosen.

For example, during the group discussion you should volunteer to be the discussion leader if you're capable. Remember, they are not looking for puppets. They want people who can lead and bring them fresh bright ideas.

FYI, the offer was RM 2.5k for 1 year "training" contractual period. After which those that "pass" the 1 year will be offered a permanent position with the department. Hope this helps and good luck.

And one more thing, prepared to work like dogs.....the working environment is really tough like hell. It's really the test of survival of the fittest!!!

I think BAT pays really well for their management trainees...probably the best in the country. Usually, other companies will only offer between 1.8K to 2K for trainees and then less than 10% increment for permanent.

Got 4 stages of recruitment process

If BAT mgnt trainee being paid 2.7k, thats way too lame, because an IT guy that work there have for half a year and after promotion only 2.5k(included allowance). Work like hell, and I mean it.

i heard that there was 2000 people who applied for positions like management trainee with BAT .. only 200 people shortlisted .. and lastly only 1 person was hired .. not sure how true this is ..

It's true. They only take in MAX 20 people every year for this program. This 20 will be divided accordingly to each department

my fren's fren is in it, basic 2.5k + rm300 allowance. Not sure what she's doing that, but she has travelled to UK and US

Oracle pay much higher than BAT. RM2.9K plus free hp n laptop for mgt trainee...

The RM 5000 "reward" is your promised contractural bonus.

Whats so good about smoking company? All they earn is cancer money.

And you got free 2nd hand smoke as well.

BAT is more than just 'tobacco', it also got other stuff such as finance consulting firm etc.

i saw 1 ads: BAT management trainee with MBA - RM120k annual starting pay

yo, its prime business is tobacco. Something that give people pleasure and country burden.

Finance consulting? I just know that their salemen are handling more cash then a bank officer

hmmm... that's like saying Genting group = gambling.

No? Thats what most people think.

I wonder how's the basic remuneration package for Business Tech Associate? I have heard from my colleagues that BAT offers very good career track and learning opportunity. Usually what will the career prospect for this program after 1 year program? Be a Bussiness Analyst? Associate consultant etc?

yaya taxes increase by another 30%

I doubt BAT offers the highest pay for Management Trainee position. I have attended UOB Management Training Preview and they are offering starting pay of not less than RM3K. SO, you do the Maths.

BTW, do you know Maybank is giving out at least 7 Months bonus to Investmnet Banking Department? My friend is working there and HE IS HAVING A GREAT TIME MAN... (of course long working hours too)

What should I say here then? Thank you for smoking?

What do you think gov using BAT tax for? To build more lamp post??

The more tax BAT paid, goverment have to fork out MORE on health care, and loss more due to part of the experienced population being rendered unproductive due to cancer.

Smoking is cool, in fact, it rocks.

Well, I am currently a management trainee with BATM for about 6 months now in the operations department. Basic pay is 2700, with 3 carton cigarette allowance and 3 free meals for the day. Life as a management trainee is fantastic here; but yeah.. really tough to get in. Currently, only 3 management trainees in operations now.

What are the job scope of an operation MT?

Anyone has any insight regarding BAT MT assessment test?

ok.. the stages are.
1. application form
2. phone interview
3. assessment test. maths and english
4. HR and functional interview
5. assessment day
6. senior manager interview

what kind of questions do they ask? As in basic maths or engineering maths?

woot, so many stages? all done in how many days?

i believe its graph n chart interpretation for the math test.. calculate data frm the given graph/chart.. the prob is you're only given 1 min per ques.. correct me if i'm wrong.

btw, what did they ask during the phone interview?

what about BAT Assessment Test for SAP BW?

wanna ask, how long is the 3rd interview normally? any advise on preparations? kinda nervous...

hey guy, i applied a position of global management trainee (marketing) or something at BAT yesterday and was called up for an phone interview jst 3 hrs after the application.. i was in the shopping complex lol and i couldnt really hear what he was saying.. eventually i did the phone interview and he told me to attend this saturday 2nd accessment and told me to fill in some sort of formal invitation he will send to me..the question is, what is this formal invitation???? anyone knew about it? and if i didnt receive any, should i give them a call? thx

if management trainee,it varies from different company..if cimb its management trainee salary is RM3000..

There's a HR interview and then the senior management interview??? Are they going to ask the same question?? Any tips here?

From my experience, HR interview will be more general and identifying which funcltion/dept ure most sitable with. Senior Managers could be more focussed and technical depending on your background, experience and knwledge.

Thanks.. This is a tip that I could use for any interviews...Any words from anyone who have been through this interviews?? What are the difference between those 2 interviews?

what did the HR asked? normal questions?

hello everyone! Good day. I am new here. I spent a few years time with Marketing & Merchandising background in Sony & Samsung. I am planning to get a job in the tobacco industry. Can anyone help me out by giving an correct direction on how to get a job in BAT/JTI/PMI?? Does it require internal staff recommendation?? Coz i failed several times by applying thru Jobstreet.com
Pls do not hesitate to share ur experience & advise, no matter ex-BAT or current BAT staff.....I appreciate it VERY much.TQ!

Can someone please share their experience on the assessment centre for BAT management trainee position. Will be attending the assessment centre and is very nervous about it

thanks

Anyone have joined BAT for this program? how was it? I know the salary kinda good.. but how's the environment? Except for busy.. =)

Just to update:

It's a 1.5 years rotation, with career progression every year or 2 years, whereby they will place you in overseas managerial position.

The selection process is still 6 rounds, and the process can take from 2 months to 4 months.

Most of the information above is still accurate.

anyone know what is the starting pay?
