Great place to work with good opportunities - Employee Nottingham Building Society Employee Review

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!

No negatives at all so far.

The people genuinely care about NBS' mission, other colleagues and our customers. The culture is the best I've experienced. The pay and benefits structure compares reasonably well for other companies in the East Midlands. Working arrangements are generally very flexible. Leaders are empowered to make decisions without micromanagement and lengthy escalations. The onboarding process was smooth and the recruitment team especially are such powerful champions for NBS. Really interesting, edgy, purpose-drive and commercially sound strategy. My role is diverse and will grow as the society grows, which keeps things interesting. Recruitment over the last 2/3 years has brought some genuinely exceptional talent into the business.

As NBS goes through another wave of change, with many new faces onboard, how management leads will be critically important to NBS' success. Colleagues generally work very hard and it's a particularly busy period for the society - so how management seeks to bring colleagues along with them on the journey will determine how well NBS performs.
