What’s it like working at Public Bank?

AI summary of recent reviews

Public Bank offers attractive compensation packages including competitive salaries, regular bonuses, and comprehensive benefits such as medical coverage and staff-rate loans. The organisation provides valuable learning opportunities through training programmes and hands-on experience, while maintaining a collaborative work environment where colleagues support each other in achieving objectives.

However, employees face several challenges, including difficulties with work-life balance due to long working hours and weekend work requirements. The bank's reliance on traditional paper-based systems and limited automation can affect efficiency, while staff often manage heavy workloads across multiple responsibilities. The management style tends to be demanding, with high performance expectations and close supervision of work.

Kuala Lumpur City Centre Kuala Lumpur2 to 3 years in the role, current employee

if you not married yet and you are in this bank , you are still lucky , leave now , you only live once .

The good thingsno commission . but basic pay is acceptable

The challengeswork life balance 404 error not found . never listen employees opinion , those high pay management role at hq only care about themselves and giving unrealistic kpi for branches plus micro management from the superior , the staff turnover rate is high and they are highly lack of staff right now , so meaning existing staff will have more burden to cover up the short fall

Port Klang Selangor30 to 31 years in the role, former employee

I come from a public finance background, and after the 2003 merger I had to quickly adapt, performing with efficiency and accuracy in a challenging, highly demanding culture. I developed a phobia of PBB’s management culture, where the better you perform, the more is demanded — with sacrifices of time, energy, and workload — leaving me constantly drained.In my 30+ years of work, the best culture I experienced was during my time in finance; however, as I ranked up, my responsibilities and workload only kept increasing without ever easing.I felt that the faster and more efficiently I performed, the more demands kept coming back to me.

The good thingsStaff benefits good.

The challengesOnce you rank up to officer level, which means being part of the management team, we were not encouraged to claim OT but were instead paid a bonus. This was actually meant to compensate for the sacrifice of not claiming OT. Therefore, the so-called year-end bonus doesn’t really feel like a bonus.

Good in salary, but no work life balance. Think twice, if you don’t care about having little to no personal life, then you may go for it.
