A fantastic joining journey - Senior Manager Nottingham Building Society Employee Review

• Strong purpose and a member‑focused ethos. • Many colleagues are committed and care about doing the right thing. • Flexible working is generally supported. • Some teams offer interesting work and opportunities to get involved in meaningful projects.

• Visibility and opportunities often feel concentrated around a small group of individuals, which creates a perception of favouritism and bias. • Development opportunities such as conferences, external events and sector engagement are not communicated transparently or consistently across teams. • Independence of certain functions can feel blurred due to how some individuals are positioned internally and externally. • Communication around progression, recognition and expectations can be inconsistent. • Senior roles carry significant responsibility, but support and recognition don’t always match the level of accountability required. • Decision‑making can feel political at times, which affects morale.

I joined recently and everyone has been really helpful and friendly so far! The company culture seems good and the recruitment process was smooth.

Nothing I can think of so far!
