    Truly one of the best organizations to work for.
    The good thingsI had a very positive experience working at Permodalan Nasional Berhad. The flexible working hours, healthy work-life balance, and non-stressful environment made it a rewarding place to work. The culture is welcoming, with colleagues who are both friendly and supportive. I admire PNB’s contribution as the backbone of Malaysia’s financial sector and wish the company continued success.
    The challengesThere may be some noticeable gaps between staff and trainees, but I believe this is quite common in most organizations.

    Internal audit

    Interns are able to grow at a stable rate and also learn which working line they would like to work.
    The good thingsEveryone are friendly towards interns. There are no barrier of communication between permanent staff and interns or Graduate Executive Trainee (GET). Staff always ready to support the interns, and also always ask for the opinion of the interns or GET's. So this create space for the interns to grow and look at which working line they are interested in working.
    The challengesThe challenges I face are transportation and lack of knowledge. First, transportation, as I do not have my own vehicle, it is quite hard to go towards the office, but I found of a solution by using public transport such as bus, and train. I also find it easier if I carpool with other interns who possess a car. Next, is lack of knowledge. Although I am a Degree student for Accounting course, real-life working experiences are very different than I expected. Additionally, on diploma internship, I am a tax trainee, which I able to use only a few of my earlier working experiences. The way I counter this is by doing self study of internal audit, and always keep in touch with my colleagues. This way I able to understand and verify if my study is relatable to internal audit or otherwise.

    Family feel; competent and professional people
    The good thingsProfessional and competent colleagues. Great benefits, especially medical coverage. Interesting work, challenging and meaningful. Great emphasis on staff development and they will invest in you to get you to the next level.
    The challengesCulture may skew towards being a little bit complacent as people 'settle in' to the company. Perhaps a bit difficult to get promoted fast given people rarely leave.
