I have been working at Skipton Building Society full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Skipton is one of the more supportive workplaces I have been in, with people who seem genuinely interested and keen to share experience and give feedback. There is lots of development opportunity within the role, supportive and understanding management and a fantastic culture of helping the customer through delivering the right outcome for them and not necessarily the business.
Cons
The company is growing, potentially a little fast for what it is ready for, hopefully though it doesn't lose its unique and customer centric culture in the process.
A bit of 'this is how it's always been done' in terms of many processes, though positive about the direction senior leaders want to take process and customer journey design.
Interview
Telephone interview, followed by a role play and face to face interview. Telephone interview covered CV, work experience and knowledge of the company. Roleplay was relevant to the job and face to face interview was strength-based rather than competency-based.
Interview Questions
Today between 9am-12.45pm the Pension Awareness tour bus will be visiting our head office. The campaign aims to spread the word that retirement is important, and should be talked about more openly. Colleagues are invited to come aboard the bus, where they will find giveaways, interactive games and experts on hand to answer any questions they might have.
