Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad

The pay is average compared to other banks. But its a great place to start

Not too much prestige in working in Alliance Bank, most people mistake me working for Allianz Insurance.

1) No career progression, people work here for 10 years and no title increment. You’ll only get promoted if someone above you leaves 2) Minimal training. Expect to be trained by a PowerPoint slide equivalent 3) Old school working style. Dated equipments ( monitors, keyboard, and peripherals will be given assuming they work) 4) Lots of long serving staff, so if you are young get ready to feel out of place 5) Received no information regarding bonus 6) HR does not review performance evaluation, bosses can coerce and have so much influence on your career progression 7) Get ready to be moved like an office furniture due to restructuring 8) If you are contract worker, get ready to be overworked

Ni work life balance here

- Poor management - No communication

Slow compensation and career growth

1) Blame first, Solutions later 2) Fear of the boss 3) Only results matter 4) Managers and above can only moan about what's wrong rather than taking action to put something right 5) High anxiety and depression 6) My way or the highway attitude 7) Uses fear to motivate (ie. warning letter from HR/contract won't be renewed) All the traits listed above are signs that a workplace culture is toxic and Alliance Bank definitely fits all of them to a tee. The team leads are a bunch of 'Yes Men/Women' who can only nod at Management's suggestion. No backbone whatsoever. Meanwhile, Management is akin to a bunch of headless chickens running around, trying to figure out how to do their job. Zero knowledge on how to handle a crisis. The goals of management in this bank are incredibly short-term, can't see past a year. Little to no instruction given to lower level employees on how to handle cases. You have better chance of finding a circus being managed better than Alliance Bank

Product not as competitive as other sme banks out there

Budget constraints for certain campaigns

politics are inevitable, better to just mind your own business
