bonus at lease 2 months...
medic, dental, optical
thats it......

if you work more than 1 year then you can loan your car at low interest but bear in mind, just 24 times of your salary...

example :

if your salary is RM1k
RM1,000 X 24
= RM24,000 (this is the amount you can loan)

housing loan is 100 times of your salary after 3 years of service

if your salary is RM3K
RM3,000 X 100
= RM300,000

Is there any public transport (bus) can reach there?

yeah, would like to know also, but but ...if is IT jobs, it's rarely you can go back on time right ? so ....public transport is also not a good idea

Wow...last night,we had our monthly branch meeting.It lasted till 10.30 pm...

manager also got pressure for Mr teh hiong piaw

good luck to you

take it easy....
last time the manager that interview me also do the same but then next day call me to sign the offer letter ady.....

only til 10.30pm ah ....
tried few times til 11.45pm

hey, how's the sales department there.. as i know they are trying to get more sales ppl into PBB..

they only want more ppl to sell their new insurance product ...

My advise to everybody here, don't ever join IT Training Centre, Bangi as you will regret after you joined. Friendly speaking, PBB benefits is absolutely good compare to other banking company. If you are looking for money in yr earlier stage of yr career, you can go for it else please don't. If you are person who are looking to learn things up and gain more experiences, please don't ever try. I just quit PBB early of this month, I would say I had made a mistake to join PBB and this is the most horrible experience I ever had in my past few jobs.

Finally, I would say...think twice before you consider their job! (Just my 2 cents worth)

really that bad aaa?

I wonder why everyone is having the same feelings with PBB now, I think they seriously need to reconsider many operations inside the organisation, many are leaving only after months working with them ...

SO AM I, a mistake joining as well, there's nothing that I can learn in becoming their so called "management trainee" who is simply dump into sales, for my position, they hire ppl from SPM grad to Master holders.

Do not join because of money, but look more towards your career in future, I am quiting because I do not see anything I can learn in selling insurance, I took my degree not to do this, seriously this isn't management trainee at all ...

Believe it anot, try it urself ...

I'm looking forward to join a company which I can gain great experience and long term employment. I would only say pbb is not a place that I would want to stay for long.

in the it department oso the same situaton aa?

Haha, princess...good word and advise from you! We got the same feeling here in PBB. Hope that you can get a new job in MNC as soon as possible.

Added on May 10, 2008, 3:13 pmBrother, I just came out from their IT department and find out that I learned NOTHING there!!!

What do you think?

Don't believe my words? Join them and you will know how I feel now...SICK!


This post has been edited by bryan829: May 10 2008, 03:13 PM

Dint know so much bad comments about PBB, because they offers the most attractive salary package for a freshie. And they have just overtook MBB as the largest bank in Msia. Really so bad ka?

I had a friend who joined PBB january of this year...he being go to the bangi training centre last few months for the training also. First two month join PBB and doing nothing in the branch, he got the manager who had very bad temper and always 'kacau' him in the branch.
he told me, unless the branch no enough people to do work, or else, they kick the people out or force them to resign. Sometimes also felt strong political fighting issue in the branch environment.

My another friends work in telemarketing department of PBB previously, he said his manager always fcuk him up for the sales issues. then he had resign and joined AMbank, he told me ambank environment much better than PBB in term of stress, people and culture. He told me he love Ambank.

Added on May 10, 2008, 4:26 pmOne of the reason PBB offer RM2100 for SPM and RM2800 for Degree is because they want to compensate for their bad working condition people or top managers playing political issues and tension culture tension. If you join less tension organization like Ambank(except Mortgage Department), for sure the pay is low. that's call give and take.

so if u felt that u are the people who can tolerance with stress, good in playing political issues and work like cow, just go ahead to PBB. However, if u want to go back home on time and ensure ur heart beat and blood pressure is normal all the time, then u go for Ambank, Affinbank and CIMB also good.

Haha, totally agree with your words!!! SUPPORT!!!! Even other bank is better than PBB!!!
One more things, Chester...MBB is still the biggest bank in Malaysia, PBB is still third in bank ranking which is after CIMB. PBB can earn so much is because they cut cost in place wherever they could. So what do you think?

bryant, how long u work there? ppl there so bad ar? swt... u oso fresh grad when u enter pbb?

Hi , would like to ask the Management Trainee can be possible IT related or ?

PBB really tat bad meh? Beside Ambank, Affinbank n CIMB, Hong Leong Bank ok?

Public Bank is STILL the second largest bank in Malaysia in terms of total deposit, net revenue etc.

Bro, is that so important to be named as SECOND or THIRD instead of FIRST in terms of ranking?
Now we are talking about job prospect in PBB not discussing about total deposit, net revenue.

I can't tell you more generally here as here may have PBB spy snuffling around. What I can tell you that, management and environment isn't as good as you think. Furthermore, I am not enter as fresh grad.

ya as long public bank is FIRST in terms of salary and bonus paying...who cares if its the FIRST or LAST bank in malaysia

Eh Bryan don't reveal my identity ... hahaha we both know each other can liao =P

hmmm could be the reason why my cousin quit his job as senior executive after just working less than 1 year....btw can you verify what LG said? spm get 2.1k per month?

Diploma get 2.1
SPM I think around 1.5-1.6 .. If you apply for executive position, does not apply for tellers

Have you started to work there? how's the working environment? which department u go to?
Biz banking? ATM? or other banking system??

I jz got an interview there woh....

As you can see, i was merely correcting your mistake. And as you should know, there are many ways of defining "the largest bank".


Well, just say whatever you know. They really could be PBB spies here but they don't know who you are. So you shouldn't be afraid to sound your opinions.


My friend applied using his SPM certificate last year in July, as soon as he decided he doesn't want to sit for STPM in November. He is now working at the counter at one of PBB branches in Kota Kinabalu and earning RM1.7k/month.

the 1.7k you mention includes all the allowance? net bring home pay or what?

i think i mentioned before in other thread bout bad experience working PBB.... but seems like no one really bother bout that but HERE'S THE PROVE.... they do really need to restructure their management or what-so-ever .... its making ppl become nightmare and i don even want to step in into pbb AGAIN

As a Public Bank shareholder, I say:

1. Stop tarring the image of Malaysia's top bank

2. Work harder, corporate slaves! Make more money for me

3. As my ex-boss used to say: "If you are not happy, you can always quit"

wow..I just got an interview overthere..but after reading this thread,its kind of making me discourage.. i thought i could get a clue in what is their management trainee is all about..anyone kind enough to inform me what kind of job credit analyst does in PBB?

LOL... just because you are shareholder thats why you need those cheap labour to help you while u gain the profit
no doubt PBB is very good in the eyes of lotsa people but not for the worker which don even being appreciated...
u should understand and sympathy with them as they make money for you ... and the company should appreciate them too... employees are company's asset don u know that.... without them no one will gain profit....

plus you don want all those ex-pbb staff stop supporting pbb and how long pbb can stand if those all staff talk bad stuff bout the bank with their relatives or fren.... pbb develop a lot of unsatisfied staff u know.... i have more that 12 ex-colleague that not goin back to pbb after resign... imagine, i only work bout 2 years and its already more than 12 in the branch i work, what bout other branch..... and what about before and after me....

you shareholder just don understand the feeling of the staff and how we faithfully help the bank during our service time but then without us, shareholder are nobody ....

How come their vacancies can open for so long? n seems like never close b4...

Is it they are so huge until they can afford unlimited hiring, then whr all the staff go? or because ppl inside keep leaving (run away) tats y they need to hire?

If the salary is high, good benefits... why ppl keep running away?

ppl running away for some reason... n donno abt others, but if its me, if everything are fine... i wont run away


im not a staff there... but... donno la... u all make the analysis and conclusion >.<

Added on May 16, 2008, 11:51 ambtw, im still waiting the call from them whether i get the offer anot... XD

but will really need to think twice, triwice, quadwice, fifwice.... =.="



This post has been edited by darkcraw: May 16 2008, 11:51 AM

you got the point here... just because ppl cannot tahan then they run and PBB keep hiring cuz no one can fit in the position for longer period of time.... nobody want to leave the company, if the company is good... u think ppl really like to jump and hop from one job to another job... Good company keeps and appreciate and value their staff.....

even if the salary / benefit is high, you don see its worth it cuz it eat up too much time of yours... my ex-colleague said that sometimes we need to be happy with our job or else we arent healthy at all... what is it for if you get all those money but you arent healthy at all, at the end you spend those money on your medication... you stress out a lot and i used not to have migraine and gastric... doctor said, i have this because of over stress and lack of rest... sometimes you gotta work until 11pm and then the next day do the same thing again and your mind just wont stop cuz of crowded things and pressure form the boss....

all the best for you, if you want to work there...

sure you get the fun part too like bonus is sooo0000 generous but if you think is worth it then why not give it a try or else you wont know the feeling.....

my colleague just resigned coz she got offer as an analyst programmer there in bangi... after reading all these posts, suddenly i feel pity for her

when i talked to her, she hopes she will get better working experience there compared to the current place i work now.. haih.. just when i want to hit on her

i wonder ur colleague got wear spec anot... coz tat day when i interview, got a lady wif working experience take leave and go there interview for analyst programmer oso...

ur interview on wednesday also? coz i remembered she went there on that day, forgot the date dy.. her experience is just about 8 months only, working in the same area as in pbb here, in bank also.. dunwan to say what bank

hopefully she can get the real "experience" as she wanted there.. haih.. (broken heart dy )

all the best to her ...
but maybe for her is something new and worth learning lor

I think it depends on which department you work and the branch ...

I would say not the whole PBB is that bad afterall ...

Just that the one I'm currently in, which is so new, whenever I ask things these two newly built alliance company keep pushing the responsibility to reach other. I called up 3person to get an answer I want, how great ... believe it anot this department only have around 5ppl in the HQ. I'm hire by PBB but I'm actually under their alliance company, it's that company ppl who controls me.

Also, what I read previously about annual dinner is so true, they ask the girl staff to dress "sexy" two piece ... they'll ask you to send in the photo, height and weight for the management to see.

oh... im on thursday... lol... y heart broken? she lenglui leh... XD

their ESOS good?

definitely a lenglui

but her resignation makes me sad, eventho our workplace is near only... public bank, u steal her from me, so u better treat her nicely!!!

wow... hard to find female IT graduate lately...

its even harder to find female graduate with good programming skill that able to work as programmer!!!

eh..i tot its ez to find female IT graduate? n also what i notice based on my previous company n current one that mostly programmers are female...

nway, her job here not as programmer tho, she first said hate it.. dunno why suddenly she accept the offer... maybe coz of the "higher" salary that pbb offer? haih.. why fresh grad always look at this first???

This post has been edited by hmspower: May 16 2008, 11:48 PM

no... in mmu... IT female student damn few.... good in programming even lesser...

bcoz nowadays money is everything mayb??? LOL... dont say her le... im oso in a selection dilemma... >.<

for me.. extra hundreds of ringgit cannot compensate for a nice working environment, less pressure, friendly management n colleagues.. coz for me i can go even further in this kind of environment.. eventho sumtimes i do complain when comparing the salary with my friends who earn more than me n ofcoz, the higher u r paid, the more is expected of u

haha.. its just me, different ppl got different capabilities

This post has been edited by hmspower: May 17 2008, 01:23 PM

Me too ... money isn't everything, money is a good motivator but working environment is very important as well ...

Ya, totally agree with you devilelle...
They just dunno how to appreciate their staff. Even after work, you still have yr spirit staying at office.
Do you know how torture is that?

i was an ex-pbb'ian............. err if i was given the chance i dont wanna go back also even if they offer higher salary than anywhere eahheaheaheha

why??

you'll be treated good at the beginning but u never know what will happen at the back......
yep, pbb likes to held miss pbb and they need to wear bikini dancing in front of everyone...
plus during annual dinner, has a lot of program, so the sexiest u r, the benefit u r to win some cash price


no worry bout your fren, they sure treat leng lui good good one


correct, what for u get a lot of money but then you working environment makes u sick


i know how u feel cuz i face the same situation too before ..... and sometimes you cant get your own credit with what u have contribute....


another prove and another free victim here *high5*


please read the post above and before and u'll know how we feel..... but if u wanna try, no harm as well and sure u gonna ended up complain like us here and share your pitiness with us

So I've heard from them, they're forcing me to wear two piece like F1girls in annual dinner .. but I'm leaving, no way I'm doing this .. can't imagine that this is a bank ..

I`m graduate next year soon as I looking forward to work at PBB also as my fren ( older than me, girl ), get lot of benefits there too but i think is different than da branch that others mention about....she ady undergone lot of training, this and that and her salary ady RM 4k ++

But what u said is true as it depends on which department you work...Thanks for da infand experienced that you all shared...!!
I very appreciated that

so darkcraw.. u got offer there dy?


thats what i'm afraid off, that "treat leng lui good good one" one


ur friend in branch or in IT center Bangi?

all in all, it all depends on your upper management, i.e. ur boss, n ur capabilities in handling pressure, stress, workload, etc etc... perhaps ur friend is one of those high spirited one i just hope that my friend (one that i hv crush on ) also belongs to that group


arghh... too late dy to show her this thread, today she no longer works here

---

Added on May 21, 2008, 1:44 pmso bryan, since u already resign from pbb, can say u work as what there, is it as analyst programmer also?
maybe i can alert my friend so she can be aware of what might be coming.. tho its too late now

---

Added on May 21, 2008, 1:53 pmaah.. one more thing.. how bout their IT security dept? err.. do they have one or they outsource?

This post has been edited by hmspower: May 21 2008, 01:53 PM

i did that before leaving pbb
but then cash price coming in

yep too good to be truth actually....
i've seen some case like, the manager intro the 'big boss' to the leng lui and told him that this is the most beautiful girl in this branch...
and some more, my fren out of no way got stranger calling her too and that person said, someone gave him the number

went for interview today..

evrything was ok except that they said they will call me back in 2-3 weeks time.. sigh...

probably they dun have any IT position available gua..

Hi, who interview u?
where did u go for interview, Bangi?

nope.. it was at the Hq... interviewed by the Hr ppl there.. 2 ladies..

u went for interview as well?

Me too, went to the interview also..the most challenging ever..3 vs 1 .Got "bang" by one of the interviewer and in the end they gave the same answer as yours two or three weeks time..

last time they also bang me but at the end want me also.....

Good luck to 2 of you then

yes, my interview is at IT centre, Bangi

aiya...got interview as mngmnt trainee next week...after reads this post my view of pbb change ed lor...

go and try out first
can gain experience thru interview too

depends on where you are working, I've got an bad experience because my dept is way too new and everything is unorganized, since I came in for 1 and half months until now I don't have a telephone/PC

So everyday I have to see who's on leave and sit their place if I want to do telemarketing. I'm provided a table but it's a place that customer won't even step a foot in ... imagine how to do sales? Not to mention some people there is extremely racist

Just wondering are v suppose to sign the offer letter on the spot? can we bring back? I have been offer the management trainee (training)....but wondering is it the same as the IT training centre?

anyone can share pls.....

just went for my 2nd interview with PBB yesterday... for the post of Internal Audit for Subsidiary Division... was hoping they would consider my employment there...

hmm, the low interest rate will still apply if you leave public bank?

Nope.It will be reverted back to normal rate..

i had an interview last friday at HQ....that was the most tiring interview i ever had...normally after interview i wont feel tat tired..

i have to wait more than 1 hour for the interview...the place was freezin ...totally uncomfortable...then when start interview...macam-macam
questions can throw out to me...hav to answer until my throat dry...haih...

after the interview...well i wont beg or appeal to them to get this job...whether they will call me ornot its up to them...

wat LG said was damn true...seriously will hav to work like cow...i managed to get understand better after the interview according to the msg above....
because hav to stay back more...haih !!!!

yea. i finished all interviews and was offered.

all HR staff and managers kept instilling the fact that PBB requires very long hours.

congrats...so do u accept the job ?...wat position u apply then ?

That mean they will pay you OT ?
