    Do not join. Save yourself the trouble.
    The good thingsLuckily my branch was good. Other peer were not that lucky. Nothing good.
    The challengesTerrible incentives. Low salary. Benefits non-existent. Allowance higher than industry so that they don’t pay EPF. Allowance ONLY paid out given 50% KPI achieved. Package NOT competitive at all

    Bad and disappointing experience
    The good thingsNot sure what's good
    The challengesHigh sales target, but very low commission better go to other bank if you want to get more in terms of commission, region push like crazy and don't appreciate staff, not worth sacrificing anything just for that position

    Kuala Lumpur City Centre Kuala LumpurLess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    To gain experience in a bad way, here's the place. Only this branch i think, not sure about the other branches
    The good thingsNot heavy volume of customers
    The challengesShort of staff contract staff being asked to do what they can't do, usually need to do a report and other task that mostly permanent staff's task. Poor management overtime not paid, but they were indirectly push you to settle the work but I was being strict and just go back on time Put too much pressure on contract staff Asked to help with the sales Slow reply from HR sides, asked a few things to HR but one of the person who arrange us didn't even reply, do a report about management wrongdoing but also no reply.

    Kuala Lumpur1 to 2 years in the role, current employee
    Good for fault tolerance systems enterprise architecture, think twice if you only want to focus on deep technical/coding skills
    The good thingsBonus is thick if you are an excelling employee with a great boss who values your work and is willing and able to fight for your worth. There are plenty of systems for you to explore even though they are old and with outdated technology, it is still interesting to have national-level projects to work with. Being able to support the things that you use on a day-to-day basis is also an interesting experience.
    The challengesCareer progression is slow in the early years but may shoot forward if you continue to excel in consecutive years. Outdated technology in the bank is still, however, the largest challenge for IT professionals that want to experience the latest technology. The low base salary is also something that should be improved for fresh graduates to value their opportunities in the company more.

    Great benefits from top management but HOD has great influence over your work experience
    The good thingsGreat benefits. HR also always come up with programmes for employee development
