Bliksem, 300 experts needed all of a sudden
What happened to the existing 300 who were there?
Have they left the country for good?

Any other perks?

 

[RudderVator]

Wow! guess they need 300 people to fix their system so they can also support Apple Pay

 

[hellfire]

Any other perks?

Good interest rates on home loans?

Probably just another company stuck in the old world where people must sit in traffic and pollute on their own time and cost. Now they have to compete for skills with modern companies allowing remote work and probably pays international related salaries.

Any other perks?

It's been years since I left so things may have changed.

Bonds were prime - 2%
Staff account was R60pm
Money Market accounts were boosted to the maximum interest rate with only R1000 in them.
There were one or two retail benefits which I used when buying my car.

I'm sure there is more but I can't remember them right now. The leave was def one of the better ones.

They have many financial perks, and that's a big plus. I left because it's still very much big corporate and everything that comes with it.
That's just my experience in the team I was part of.

Johannesburg - is this not that place in southern Africa that just got mass looted and is a crime infested danger to live in? How clever must an employee be to want to live and work in that place?

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

applied many times, but I guess you need to know somebody to get a job there,
guess having a FNB account isnt one of the prerequisites.

FNB: We want to do insurance and telecommunications apart from our core business.

Yes I have. They're finally recruiting to replace me

My suspicions were right then. I always thought you worked there. You were always clever with your comments on the forum. I often thought you were an insider

Actually I wasn't.

I only worked for fnb themselves for 6 months...

Sad, they should have had enough IT, and Cyber Security types on board long ago, now they want to poach folks to fill those gaps. EISH!!

 

[schuits]

The 'developer' position link is wrong and pointing to a mybb page that doesn't exist.
Should link to 'https://www.firstrandjobs.mobi/Jobs/Detail?refNumber=IRC203197'

 

[Prof.Merlin]

But can they implement Apple Pay?

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

FNB, how can we poach you?
