hi young blood, may i ask how is the increment ? will the staff there get an increment every year ?

yes yearly increment 5-7%, bonus 1-2mths..only the allowance is good..dont believe the 5-6mths bonus etc that they mention during the interview..not true..max is 2months only

Thanks for the advise youngblood.. i'll give it a try.. just wanna know what are they offering;)

called the HR department last wednesday asking about my status, he said i got the job, but still havent confirmed whether i join on april or may, he ask me to wait for the offer letter, up until today still no news yet, how long usually the offer letter is out ? i scared he only say i got the job just to 'jaga my hati' .... huhuhu any advise youngblood or anyone else?

yes agree, never leave a local bank for rbc, initially the offer looks goods but later you will regret like me.

if they said u got the job means u got the job..just wait for the letter..it may take some time

I've finished my 1st interview for a senior auditor position on monday.. It was a simple interview with the recruiter, Brian Lobo.. A very nice person.. The senior audit manager who was suppose to interview me was away but subsequently I was introduced to a nice looking lady named Ee Leng, the only senior auditor there so far.. Evrything was just fine except for the case study part because I didn't manage to complete some of the scenarios given.. Anyway they say that there will be another session and it can just be by phone.. I'm kind of happy with the interview as they're being honest regarding the bonuses and benefits which are surely incomparable with what I'm enjoying with public bank now.. But based on my observation, the kind of staff that they have are different.. They looked confident, with good communication skills. In simple words, they are international.. Now I'm waiting for what they can offer me.. If its worth the experience that I'll get for my career advancement then I'll go for it.. InsyaAllah

they are international??!! just because there are mat salleh and malaysians speak english ala mat salleh?? looks can be deceiving epiyana..

I've started working here for the past 2 months. Fund Accountant. Anyway i think it's up to everyone's preference. So far i'm finding it good as i'm still learning new stuffs, but let's see after a few more months.

Also i do believe that your colleague will play a big role in determining the work environment. If you get a happy team it's good. If you get a team with stressful angry people, then er..

I've been with RBC for few months, joined as FA (Fund accountant)
At first don't know anything, thinking wow RBC Dexia, Canada-Lux Intl Company,
the benefits and treatment towards stuff must be world class as well!

And now i put my hands on the real battlefield, everyday rushing for deadlines, submitting NAV for each funds
and i saw lotsa candidates coming in and out from the interview
and then i started to think that wow rbc must be really aggressive and committed in expanding msia market
but then i observe and observe again
and then i found out, non of the FA sitting around me are happy people except for those new joiners who has yet to taste the real boredom of FA
they complained a lot, about the benefits, about the treatment, about rbc is expanding too fast that they only focus on new blood but ignoring the skilled and senior staff blablabla
and onli then i found out the truth about 'if you ain't the best, you dont deserve the yearly bonus!'
since then my heart kept on bleeding (dreams broken) and i've been out searchin for better opp

for all freshie, if you are up for money, really desperate for money and dont mind doing the same stuff daily, rbc welcomes you
afterall this is all about back office, if your dream is to become like bigshot agent, let it be fund manager, broker or trader blablabla
im sorry but you have to look for somewhr else, this place is simply not for u
cuz we dont get to see client, we dont make any calls or decision,
what we hv to do is just very simple, make sure no mistakes on your funds and to produce the NAV on time,
any mistakes found, minor one, incentives will be stripped off, major one, you be too ashamed to stick with rbc

anyhow, i do enjoy the ride to rbc thou, it's traffic-less, unlike the hectic drive to the city!

haha... practically everybody i know say's the same things about rbc ... if you have no ambition and would like to do repetitive work then it's the right place for you.

hello, i would like to ask a question,

1) is it normal for them not to state the amount of allowance given such as transport+shift allowance, the fringe benefit in the offer letter ?

EXACTLY!!!
and you know what? all my seniors actly encourage me to work for any banks instead of rbc if the opp knocks on the door,
'just grab any opp that u hv, just go for it! you wont achieve anything by staying here!'

they were sincere, and they spoke it out from the bottom of their heart (i could sense that )
and it keeps me wondering, why are they still staying here then?

the amount for all these allowances wont be shown on the offer letter
but during your 1st day in rbc, they'll distribute the employee handbook to all of yall, there you can get any information that you need
let it be medical benefits, inconvenience allowance (shift), transportation allowance & etc etc

hearing this make me feel dont want to work there damn, but i cannot be choosy in picking out my first job, because i dont have any bargaining power because of my baad2 cgpa.. so i just grab whatever i can and see what the future hold for me after 1 year

Well said lurvdesignersbag...
