Pros

A very passionate company who care about their employees, and members - putting both at the heart of all decisions. I get to see what goes on behind the scenes and every decision is thoughtful and very well considered with all facts, risks and outcomes thoroughly discussed, with the purpose of driving the business forward, whilst ensuring that the right choices have been made for all. It only took me a few weeks to feel immensely proud working for Nottingham Building Society and after 6 months, I live and breathe our company values and very much enjoy coming to work for such a people-centric business. Our company history and current propositions are extraordinary and really show that we are member (customer) obsessed. I've never worked in a business where the CEO knows every single member of staff by name - be it at head office, or in branch - a marvellous, passionate and very hard working CEO, and a fantastic Executive team who all work well together to ensure that the right decisions are being made. The right cadence of meetings ensure that the key decision makers are well informed and know what is happening across the business, rather than being siloed with their knowledge - I often feel that this does not get enough credit from those who aren't exposed to what goes on in meetings. It really is a very collaborative Executive team. The people are a real highlight of working for NBS and our culture, values and diversity make this a great place to work. Without a doubt my favourite job that I have had, and I believe that my peers and colleagues truly care about me. I feel valued and that can be rare nowadays. Communication within NBS is very proactive, with a focus on transparency and keeping everyone clearly informed. This makes working here feel like we are all very much part of our continued story and keeps everyone on the same page.

Cons

I don't have any, as I truly believe that any items that would deemed a 'con' are actively being looked at, changed and improved on a daily basis. The change I have seen within my time with NBS has been positively superior to what I have experienced in other organisations. our Executives listen, and care.

Pros

• 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.

Cons

• 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.

Pros

Throughout my joining journey, the Talent Acquisition Partner and wider HR team were a great support - providing prompt and helpful responses to any queries, a real insight to the culture within Nottingham Building Society. Upon joining, my kit was quickly sorted with no issue and I was gifted a welcome pack of 'merch' - a nice perk when joining any company. The joining journey was one of the smoothest I have encountered in my 15 year career within Financial Services. Senior leadership had also taken the time to set up 1-2-1 intros with stakeholders across the organisation which were loaded into my diary the first time I logged on - a great help in building my network across the firm!

Cons

No negatives at all so far.
