RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Nationwide Building Society full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Management are very mature and good, the framework surrounding analyst management is beneficial to those being managed. New CEO is pushing innovative ideas that are good.
Cons
Senior management tend to try to do too much to the detriment of the work. The vast majority projects run over, costing money and producing worse final outputs. Rework or sacking of unfinished expensive projects is common.
Advice to Management
Work on your project planning. Plan what is doable and look for a good outcome rather than trying to appear overly capable to impress your peers and management.

Application
I applied online. The process took 7+ weeks. I interviewed at Nationwide Building Society (Swindon, Wiltshire, South West England, England) in June 2017.
Interview
telephone interview, assessment centre, second interview. Long gaps between application stages and I didn't get a second interview but they told us we would be told in 24 hours and to keep diaries free for a second interview but then sent rejections over two days later which felt unprofessional and discourteous. Interviewers pleasant and polite and the environment professional. Materials were clear what they were looking for.
Interview Questions
- Standard what makes you suitable, why nationwide, what's your leadership style. Assessment centre was written case study followed by group exercise with other candidates. Case study looked at business problem and write one page presentation which was handed in, not verbally presented. Group Exercise was material to assess and then decide as a group how to present. 1 Answer
