hi all,

does anyone of you works for ambank? i got the 2nd interview days ago and might be hired as a wintel server guy. from wat i heard, the salary is jus so so, mileage is rm0.70/km, and epf is 16%. the benefits i heard is jus normal but at least it was better than my current company. would like to hear others opinion about this....the worklife, future growth, benefits and etc.

at the same time, my client (i am outsourced) knew tat i wanted to resign n asked me to tell him about my unhappiness with my current company which i did told him. he hope tat i could stay with this company, either as permanent (no promises due to headcount) or after my company contract is over, he will insist tat the new outsourcing company to hire me n put me there.

i'm in a dilemma now...ambank or client? happy with client but problem with my company (epf/socso/income tax deducted but not credited to acct, no bonus as promised, hardly approve leave and many other empty promises). hope to hear some ideas....btw, today i've jus lodge a report to epf about my company.

thanks

This being the case, it is possible that even after join AM, the client will still look for you.

Thus this "promise" factor does not weigh much in consideration of the AM offer.

yeah, did think of it too but i enjoyed working there but i would prefer more challenges. he can only promise me that when they move to the new office, he would let me do the avaya voip system and the cisco router/switch, for this he can promise....for others, he cant.

Everyone for its own dude..... u dun wan to just depend on this one client forever rite???

AmBank will definitely be better than ur current comapny. Company deduct tax. epf, etc but doesn't direct to ur a/c?? u better report this matter!!! Its a dam dodgy company... no future for u there... U'll definitely learn more in Ambank, and paid more in later yrs after u have the skills... think long term dude

yeah, tats y i was thinking a lot. i've jus reported to kwsp this morning and for ambank, the interview seems to be easy compare to others although they asked a lot. and they don mind paying as long as i can work for them for at least 3 yrs. i'm jus worried about their work culture, one man show eventhough there are many others.

as for my client, he helped me although it was not his business. he wish to hire me as a perm but the headcount problem. and he knew tat i wish to learn, tats y he promised me tat he will ask the global it to localised some of the things.

it feels like owing him something but thinking of my future with so much of the management problem, i am in the middle now....wait or change

i'll advise u to go for ambank. i got a fren of mine working there in IT department. the benefits there quite good. annual leave got 22 days n bonuses will b at least 1 mth.

Hi, anymore comments on Ambank?
i heard that Ambank not giving any contractual bonus but performance bonus only. Is this true?
Any staff from Ambank would like to speak this out?

i just went for their interview. the interviewer told me no contractual but performance can be up to 6 mths. have u attended the interview too?

Ya, I went to the interview, the interviewer told me the same also. Ambank are not giving contractual but performance bonus only. What do you think?

May I know what position u applied?

If majority are getting at least 2 mths bonus then it shud be fine... maybe we shud get more info from anyone that's working in AmBank now on the average bonus payments..

I applied for IT Exec. How abt u?

I am in there, but marketing dept.

So i guess things work differently, for me mileage is RM1 per km

ya ya, have to see majority also. If majority is at least 2 months then quite similar like contractual.
Hopefully Ambank staff can speak out here.

IT Executive? Doing what?
My position is more like quality and compliance as told by interviewer.
Have they call you up for second interview or medical checkup?

Added on October 16, 2008, 8:41 pmOh wow! Glad to see Ambank staff voice up here.
I think more or less are the same in terms of benefits.
The interviewer told me that mileage is RM1 per KM also.
Then bonus is average 3-4 months at least depends on performance.
So what about yours? how many months of bonus you got?
What about the working environment there? Peace?

No bonus, commission based now... (used to be bonus based, but recently just changed the policy)

So it is higher basic (than last time) + some allowances and claims (limited, unlike the past where it is unlimited) + commissions

And, no bonus for us (Mortgage Sales) . So mau duit? Rajin sikit lo.

ic...you are from mortgage sales.
coz the position I applied is IT position so I would like to hear comments from IT staffs in Ambank.
do you know anyone of them?
Ambank HR call me up in the evening just now but I'm incovenient to talk at that moment.

from AM but i'm not from IT though.. from branch (retail banking).

on average for the past few years, i've been getting around 3-4 months.
no mileage claim for us unless sales staff like the personal banker/personal financial executive but there's commission for certain products like credit cards and insurance.

ic...thx for your info princessmei
may i know which branch are you from?
u seems like working with AM for quite a long period.

lol.. sorry not very convenient to disclose. just giving you a rough idea about retail banking because bonus really ranges between dept.

where is the HQ for ambank? the branch that you are goin for is in KL ?
