Within a few days. My signed the offer letter on the same week I did my medical examination.

Hmm may I ask why you want to turn down the offer from another bank? Not trying to dissuade you from joining PBB lah.. I'm just a bit curious.

Glad to see that you resign! I’m now working in PBB branch as credit analyst also. Just my first few months I feel like resign already. All senior all like to talk back behind and doesn’t want to teach at all @@ I also plan to apply for another bank. Heard that other bank culture is not the same, which company u joining?

Is it a regular procedure for all applicants to or would shortlisted applicants receive the call only? What role did you ask for?

What kind of questions did they ask? When did you go for your interview?

looks like you are getting an internal audit or credit role with one of the branches.
Just like any other organisation, your experience with PBB really depends on the branch or dept you’re attached to. I’ve heard horror stories from certain branches as well as head office. I was lucky cause I have good, supportive colleagues and superiors in my dept. To be honest, I do enjoy my working environment and tasks given at PBB but the red tape imposed by the bank as previously mentioned by others can by bloody annoying at times. And the pay is just uhhhhhh...

All the best!

If you’re looking for a good working culture/ helpful colleagues, PBB is the last place to look at. When I went for their mandatory three weeks training course, almost everyone in my cohort complained about unhelpful colleagues and rude managers. But then YMMV.

Not trying to scare you or anything, but I reckon you will have a higher chances of getting a bad branch because usually the turnover rate is really high and HR is desperate to get the vacant positions filled. 

Ooof I've heard bad reviews for that position.

From what I remembered it's almost the same the credit analyst at branches other than the fact that it's even worst. The processing turnover time for hire purchase officer is shorter than say in the mortgage/commercial department. So expect to have a rougher, high pace and high stress work environment than the analysts at PBB.

It's not sure if it's a sales job per se, but as the saying goes everyone in PBB is expected to do sales because "selling is our responsibility"... you should expect that you will learn things in the hire purchase centre by making mistakes/ getting scolded by your superiors as no one has time to teach you.

In my humble opinion, I'm not sure if PBB is the right place for you especially since they offered you a placement in hire purchase. From your post history I suppose you're doing audit and sometimes tax. In hire purchase centre the job scope is mostly like data entry/admin because you 99% of the time you just key in details from the documents into the system, send for approval, stamping, filing and draft letter. It is totally a different job scope from audit. Try to aim for credit analysts at branches (mortgage loan dept) because after a few months you'll get to process commercial loans and this is where you get to practice what you've learnt.

But if you're going in for the money, I can't stop you lo. Just know that the standard turnover for new staffs at Hire Purchase department centre is 2-3 months based on this forum and this should raise some red flags. Can you stay in this department for the next year or two before jumping to another company?

Tbh, it's normal for bank to give high annual leave. Last time I worked in a bank, I'm entitled for that high annual leave.

But for normal companies out there, you are entitled for 12-18 annual leave for exec level position.

you're based at KJA right?
I do enjoy my job as I have nice colleagues and bosses, and I don't wake up every morning dreading to do the 1 hour commute to work at Menara PB. I have friends working in other local banks and they bitch alot about their colleagues and their work ethics while PBB staff unite in bitching about our pay 

btw your bonus heavily depends on your department or branch. MT do receive year end department/branch bonus but pro rated to the day you joined.

Basic Salary still RM2800 OR RM3200 now? Be warn, be prepared until late nights like 12 hours+ a day. Best of luck. Pay is good once you reached senior level but prepared to be a cow.

Hi all, i've done my medical checkup last wednesday, and i submited the result to the branch last friday. I'm currently waiting for the offer letter. Normally, how long it take for them to give you the offer letter?
