Looks like they are still hiring, probably due the number of vacancies open across functions, but seems like certain functions are not hiring anymore.

Salary is the same (FCH 4.6k), you can see this in their mycareersfuture posting lol.

Seems like most of the vacancies are in ops and tech (O&T), also consumer financial services (CFS). These are the 2 biggest divisions in the bank, so their recruitment are the biggest as well. However, both are relatively unattractive compared to divisions like global corporate banking (GCB), group finance and group treasury. Ops and tech is considered back office, where the work is unexciting and progression is slow. Consequently, it has high attrition, but those who stay 5 years or more tend to stay in a back office role for life because at the 5-year mark they have priced themselves out of the job market. CFS is slightly better, but not ideal for a long-term career in finance. Being one of the Big Three local banks, retail banking customers (aka the average Singaporean) make up a large part of the bank's revenue. But generally speaking, it is more lucrative to be financing corporates than the guy on the street. The finance knowledge and skills you learn in corporate banking are more sophisticated than in retail banking.
