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 ?

Hi, I has been offered by Ambank recently and they offered me Rm2800. What i applied was the Amgraduate programme. I will go for medical check up next week. Any 1 know wroking environment in Ambank? I will be allocated in businees banking 1st. Any 1 work as mgt tranne in AMBank b4? Hope to hear some advice from u.
Should i accept it?

Is it Ambank will be accept any degree too?

Have no idea how the mgnt trainee program in Ambank works. But in general, you go through lots of shit throughout the program.
If you qualify for the graduate program, i guess your result must be pretty good eh?

BTW, no one freaking know what kind of degree you holding. IT? Engineering? Business?

All i can say is, when I joined UOB (mortgage sales, but under the so call 'Management Trainee') and on the very first day the schedule for my training and course has already been printed for me.
When i joined AMbank (also mortgage sales) there weren't any training or course. The nearest thing to it is a so called 'on job training'. But then it doesn't matter since what i do is pretty much the same. But from what i know and heard, AMBank seems to be lacking in their staff's training.

My friend in UOB has all sort of trainings/talks/workshop every month or so .. the nearest thing i have is some lame product briefing which pretty much has nothing to do with my job.

I have no freaking idea on how to comment on your question. You said 2.8k. Any other allowances?
Allocated in Business Banking as? Doing IT there? Doing Sales? Support? What you prefer? Asking IT nerd to do sales? Or asking a IT idiot to do IT support?

You tarak kasik orang tau apa apa, mana orang boleh tolong you....
As what my boss always say, if you don't farkking help yourself, how people going to help you

Guess so, bank doesn't care if you are holding an EE degree or a Business degree .... they just wanna know that you wasted 4 years to get a degree

anyone working for Ambank here. I wish to know about the working environment and can we go online from our PC, what OS are they using, LCD panels, open door policy, punctuality for staffs? etc. Thanks.

I used to worked at AmBank HQ for IT department almost 4 years. But currently i already moved to other company. Yes u need 3 month notice period for resignation, luckily my new company can wait for 2 month.

Ambank IT staff is so so big in size, i think more than 600 all over Malaysia. Annual increment is average 6 - 7% only and bonus 3 month.

Amgraduate offered me differently, f***. i was offered 2.5k.

How about the working environment at Ambank right now? more pros than cons? The notice period, was it still 3 months? thats bit pain

hmm..wondering why so many ppl thinking of going into banks.....been there, tasted it and never going in ever again.

ambank it staff is big but the one who can really do things are not more than 1/4 of it.....and increment+bonus is........ahem ahem.....majority wanna ciao after seeing their increment+bonus.

Hi again..

What was the latest bonus do AmBank staff get? And Is there any contractual bonus? If there are, for how many months?

contractual bonus is last yr but now, no more bcos ppl from anz dont allow it. now only performance bonus......heard that they are following the 'bell curve', lowest is 1 mth, normal is 2 mths n max....not sure.

for me, i should get 2 mths but i ciao without taking it which i am not planning to take it at all....haha. work like a dog n kena bullet like hell n only 2 mths.....not worth it. btw, i'm in the IT dept.

Thats sound scary though... dont really like this bell curve-ing thingy... they may pick which they tend to like most...

yothim, what's your task there in IT dprt? Programmer or what?

not convenient to tell la....but i'm on the infra side. programmers? i havent find any 'programmers' here.....most have the title but i'm not sure if they knew how to write a code or not. most with those titles are jus application support....while the codings are done by vendors. trust me, i see more vendors coming in than the so-called 'programmers'.

yothim, u station in which location? KL or tropicana?

stop la....don wan to divulge too much. wat u wanna know then ask la but don ask who i am or where i am n so on. not nice ler

lol u r right about the vendor thing. last time i work as a vendor(csc) for the ambank n other banks. but for sure, i like the ambank it guys the most, especially those that are working at lvl 19, YKS as they are friendly and helpful. but as i can see, the working life for the ambank it staffs is quite scary..heavy loads of work and then have to see the damn staffs face especially those from the higher lvl one (kena bullet kao kao) They are always right n the IT guys are on the wrong side . i just moved to a better company 3 mths ago and now i'm really enjoying my working life

p/s: pass my best regards to chan, leong, khairul nizam and mr callan
