AUB is a publicly-listed universal bank that has been in operation for 23 years, joining the ranks of Forbes-listed companies and an illustrious league of Philippine banks.
AUB’s principal and executive offices are housed at the Joy-Nostalg Center in Ortigas Center, one of the country’s most progressive business districts and a strategic hub for commercial opportunities.
Led by a highly-experienced management team with proven track records, AUB aims to continue to fulfil and adapt to the needs of its solid customer base of corporations, small to medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as a growing retail clientele; ensuring its engagement with each customer transcends across business strategies, digital channels and personal connections.
Fresh grads can anticipate a quick turnaround time for entry-level job applications at AUB. The bank takes 17 days on average to complete the hiring process. Some previous applicants said that it can be as short as one week.
AUB’s Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is the best way for graduates to find current opportunities. There’s a three-step process for using the HRIS:
Aspiring interns may only need to attend one interview, as AUB recruits qualified candidates within a shorter time. Some of the common questions during the interview focus on the person’s strengths and weaknesses. Fresh graduates can expect to join AUB as interns after a few days.
AUB employees who refer candidates for entry-level roles may also go through a faster recruitment process. Aside from an initial HR interview, the extra steps for entry-level candidates may include technical exams and interviews.
The bank’s auditors, for instance, had to pass an Information Processing Aptitude Test (IPAT) exam before they landed the job.
On the other hand, AUB’s programmers had to attend a technical panel interview with at least two department heads.
AUB pays between Php13,000 to Php18,000 per month for entry-level and associate roles such as customer service, sales, and trainees.
Auditors may earn an average annual salary between Php357,000 and Php389,000. An accounting officer’s monthly salary may range from Php21,000 to Php23,000.
Programmers and software engineers may earn up to Php31,000 per month. Insiders said that employment benefits include a 16th-month bonus pay, medical coverage, and profit-sharing bonus.
Accountancy, business, engineering, and IT graduates have more opportunities to explore a career at AUB. The career progression from an entry-level role may happen after at least three years.
AUB’s auditors possess a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy or in a related field. Graduates who are Certified Public Accountants (CPA) have better chances of joining the bank as auditors.
The bank’s programmers are either computer science or computer engineering graduates. An IT-related degree, however, remains a good alternative.
Entry-level employees can become accounting officers after gaining two years of experience. AUB prefers an accounting officer to be a CPA as well.
AUB’s branch managers have at least three years of experience in the same role at a commercial or universal bank. This implies that internal promotions are possible if fresh grads can develop the required skills in branch management or sales.
