Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad Employee Reviews & Ratings

high level stress, multitasking, figures.

Overworked. Very high pressure & stress.

Unfortunately my team's assigned HRBP is not very effective (takes weeks to revert to simple questions and revert with less than satisfactory answers). Backward and poor infrastructure (poor WiFi, no chat/ productivity/ cloud tools, only can use Zoom for calls, rest of the time have to use own personal WhatsApp to contact/chat with people). Cloud security concerns are unfounded considering it's more unsafe to channel work discussions via personal phone/WhatsApp. The flip side of having a small team is that the workload can get too much sometimes (e.g. when someone resigns, or when someone goes on leave, or when multiple things run in parallel).

low salary, lack of guidance

low increment, overall ok, need improvement for pantry

Normal working environment for everyone

conducts sales in mandarin/ cantonese

Average salaries for the junior level

Lack of manpower Overloaded task

This bank doesn’t care for its employees. Not good for career advancement

Pay is relatively low compared to industry standard.

It is common to have politics, but the HR doesn't seem to handle them very well. The HR is in difficult position to stand up for their trainees, they also always get condemn by senior bosses for organising this program. Other banks also of Management Trainee programs, their culture is to accept this young graduates who have a bond and pressure to perform. Not all Alliance Bank staff have this supportive culture.

Lack of directions from management

Maybe it's the central bank that imposes so many guidelines that the bank just follows.

Could be very old-schooled in terms of leadership

There is no chance for advancing.

Less diverse in some departments.

Increment is too low, bonuses can be underwhelming

Workload too much, unfriendly work environment

Need to cope with tight deadlines and work under pressure.

not much, everyone is pretty supportive

Poor management, just little bit increment per year

Insensitive Management towards staff personal well-being.

Bad bonus. High turnover. Political and low learning curve

Budget constraints Career progression can be slow

Have to be very multitasking No work life balance

Politic,only boss favourite staffs have more promotion oppurtunity

This is based on my personal experience. Situations might differ depending on the unique nature of work and management team. 1. There is simply no work-life balance at all - tasks arrive unexpectedly without any planning, sometimes requiring work until 4 am. 2. There is a lack of real support from superiors. The reasoning provided is to test independence, which, to me, seems like a feeble excuse. 3. Due to a small team, work is unevenly distributed, creating a toxic environment. There are apparent 'clans,' offering help only to select favorites. 4. It's astonishing that email communication resembles that of WhatsApp, with nearly 300 emails needing responses daily. This workload is excessive and unmanageable. 5. The focus is on discussing ideas, yet execution lacks planning. 6. Efforts seem directed at impressing management, resulting in hardships for middle management by the day's end. 7. No leadership at all. Blaming others is what they do.

no worklife balance, Almost everyday need to OT, sometimes OT cannot claim

Slow increment and low payout
