14 is normal for most MNCs. Financial companies and banks usually 20+ AL.

SMEs usually 12 and below.

Traineeships don't have AL right?

If I ain't wrong.

The terms and conditions will be in the final offer letter. upon receiving final offer letter, then you can make a decision whether benefit is good enough.

It is fine lah. All local companies similar

oh my fricken' god. YES. THANK YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE. nail on the head.

and it's just that i'm 95% set on accepting the offer once it comes simply because i've been chasing banking roles in the past only to finally get it now. The non-salary benefits dont actually matter as much to me because this is just a traineeship role - i am not expecting to get the full perm staff suite of benefits. but i just wanted to know how different it would be from the full suite once I see the offer letter. (Example: I applied to NCS last week, and trainees gets 7 days AL while permies get 16. Geddit? Lol)

This post was literally seeking some input on culture etc because I dont think HR is always well-informed on individual teams given that there are just so many within the bank.

So if anyone has anything to say other than attacking me for my questions which were posed politely and with zero harm, please reply this thread. Otherwise, don't bother.

No need to be rude lol.

I thought it's all stated in the final offer letter, and candidates are given a few days to accept it.

On a side note, what are the non-salary benefits like, e.g. AL, group insurance?

How do you decide to accept an offer before knowing about such basic things like AL, and other non monetary incentives, culture, reporting line, appraisal cycle, YOY salary increase etc

Please double clarify with HR again to ask about all these things before you accept. HR is not your enemy, you have a right to ask about all these to them, call them if you need. HR also has a KPI to get succesful hires, it's in their interest to tell u.

Else how are you as a candidate supposed to make an informed decision without knowledge of material information like the above?
