Pros and cons of working at NAB Australia
Pros
Amazing Culture and People. Employees are valued and recognised for the hard work that they put in. The company has a very supportive environment and has many different learning and development opportunities available."
Flexible working (WFH), emphasis on work-life balance. Big organisation so lots of areas to get involved in and explore.
Great learning opportunities - 3-4 rotations depending on your dream to get exposure to different parts of the bank. Good work-life balance.
Employees are recognised for the hard work and initiative that they take which gives them the opportunity to further our career development.
The graduate culture is amazing and everyone is very social and happy to catch up.
Cons
Sometimes we have to navigate lots of old tech and systems.
Because it’s such a large organization, it can be tricky to know the ins and outs of what each function does, but that comes with time, experience and exposure.
Sometimes have to work long hours.
There were lots of stages of the interview process
We don’t get any bonuses. Apparently they used to but they stopped a few years back.
