So TS question has not been answered after almost 2.5 years. Anyone out there is working in Public Mutual as a analyst/research executive? Come and share your experience.
PS: TS is not referring to Public Mutual consultant (sales).

Malaysians are not good in comprehension i think, else the impression of Public Mutual = Unit Trust is deeply sticked in people's mind.

You will get a 3 hour test. Part A is objective. Part B is they give u 2 set of f/s and ask u analyse which company u should invest in and one mor ewritten assessment.

I went for an interview with public mutual recently, for analyst position. What I can say is that the company condition is
not very good, dark and old (just like small sdn bhd companies but public mutual is so big in Malaysia). The desks look like old furniture that are thrown out by public bank and they just move them to public mutual to save money.

They had 2 people to interview me separately, but they ask the same questions, so I have to repeat what I said (after a 2 hour test!!). Some of the things that make me feel extremely uncomfortable with the company:

1. Unwilling to introduce themselves with their position in the company even though I asked.
What is there to hide? That’s when I started feeling something is not right with the company culture – lack of respect for candidates / employees.

2. Then, one of the interviewers look impressed by my uni results, but when he ask me about some stock market views, it is very obvious that he started to look down on me. I don’t know why, maybe because my views are different from his views. For example, he seemed surprised that my views are contradicting with his views about a company in the stock market. To me, differing opinions are normal but it seems that he is unable to accept that, and he was not ready for open discussion with me.

I have a feeling that if i join this company, i will not be able to voice out my own opinion on my work, and they will give me “the look” again and will not approve on my recommendations or stocks. The way they treat their candidates also tell me that they will treat their staff the same way! No respect for employees, bad culture! I will decline any job offered by public mutual.

I went for the interview for research analyst position with public mutual as well,...

I was interviewed by 3 of them at one go. one of them was a fund manager, Cynthia. She really tembak me like shit.

Just like you, i realised that they seem to enjoy rejecting ideas and opinions i had. To them, there is no right answer, unless it is the same answer as what they are expecting.

The 2 hour test and essays went very well, but during the interview, it went so badly that i told the interviewer off. I said to her that an interview is supposed to be a 2 way conversation. It is a chance for you to learn more about me , as well as for me to learn about you instead of being grilled throughout by you. I also told her that so far, you hadnt answered any of my questions, but continue to question me.

After that, she insulted me even more.. lol.. she said that my CV is one of the best already with experience in corporate finance and wealth management and yet i cannot answer questions properly. SHe then started to say that she had to start from the bottom when she joined, and i just got the feeling that she looked down on me , with disgust. lol...

Honestly speaking, i felt that i could answer the interview questions quite well already. It just that the answers i gave were not HER ANSWERS. sighhh..... back to job applications again,.. sad.gif

sorry to hear bout the troubles. some tips in interview:

1- keep the ball on your turf, not theirs-
keep the conversation within the topic you know better than the interviewer, which is your own experience. this way, theres very little room for interviewer to tembak u. tell them your experience.

2- when answering a question that doesnt really have a right answer, just pick the answer that you think is the most important and elaborate it using your experience. when the interviewer start saying out his version of answer, just agree and support him. look for common ground, not the difference.

3- show that you are interested and know about what kind of investment the company is involved in but never try to speculate or show u have superb knowledge cuz theres little chance you will know about that portfolio better than them.

4- when asking question to interviewer, ask a question that allow them to show you how great theirr job/achievement is. when they are done, says "interesting". "great".

5- when u give wrong answer or dunno the answer, apologize and ask the interviewer to share with u the answer.

good luck.

Same here, I went to the interview at Public Mutual HQ (Sri Damansara)
The position they offered me was Customer Administration & Service.

The lady who interviewed me was looking down me as well.
Kept insulting me and there's no right answer indeed whatever I answered.

Kept asking bout myself like looking something to shoot me all the way long.
I kept my breath and keep smiling at her instead of punching on her LC face that time.

There's no any respect for us (me & my friend who went to the interview) at all !
