Pros

Great location, friendly people who like to have fun while they work. More branded shirts than you know what to do with. Great fun at monthly drinks hosted with a theme, to help us all connect.

Cons

The place is rife with nepotism and inept leaders who are focussed on their own agendas that they are failing to lead the bank. The constant turnover of leaders - from Executive level down - leaves the place in a constant state of churn, and lack of progress. The group are so focussed on brand they seem to forget that there needs to be something of substance behind all the cute communications. Hierarchical approach leaves most employees out of the loop. Appears to be a strong focus on communication, but really it is spin-doctoring: They are not interested in listening to the insights of employees. There is a small group of ‘chosen few’ who can do no wrong, undermine those they don’t like, and make a large group of people act in fear of retribution. They talk a lot about the importance of relationships, which is code for over-inflated ego’s that need to be stroked.

ME Bank Response

Thanks for providing such detailed feedback on many areas ME could improve. There’s lots to cover there so I will be passing it onto the brand team as well as the LT. We are growing and always looking for the ways we can improve not just the culture but the strategic direction of the bank so it’s appreciated. Glad you enjoyed our monthly mixers, they really are a great way for all people across the bank to come together and connect and nice to hear you have a great swag of T-shirts too. Thanks, Scott.
