Workplace reviews and discussion: 安泰商業銀行股份有限公司

1. Colleagues are easy to get along with

2. If you encounter a good manager, they are willing to provide guidance, making learning interesting

3. With no senior colleagues to ask, you have to find your own solutions, which strengthens your problem-solving skills

Arm

1. There is a shortage of staff, so it is genuinely very busy when work piles up. Overtime must be approved by a supervisor, but usually people quietly return to their desks after clocking out and continue working.

2. The company’s systems are poor. Although there is training, it is not thorough, so the same mistakes continue to be made. The department holds self-study sessions every morning, led by the supervisor, which creates considerable pressure. Everyone is afraid to ask questions, so the sessions do not seem very effective.

3. Salaries are 2–5k lower than at major banks. Turnover is high, and there are often no senior colleagues to ask, so you have to solve problems yourself and seek answers on your own.

RM

1. The bank is small, so large companies do not want to do business with us or open accounts with us. In addition, our products are not attractive, making business development difficult.

2. The performance evaluation has a penalty mechanism: if your performance is below last year’s baseline, points are deducted according to the extent of the shortfall. It feels as though the company simply does not want people to receive bonuses.

3. Employees are expected to be all-rounders and to perform their best in every area.
