Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Flexible, friendly place to work
Cons
Mid payer compared to other financial institutions
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Nice friendly atmosphere, but management don't seem to treat is as a society anymore, it's just like working for any other middle size corporation.
Cons
Management is too corporate, no longer feels like a building society

Pros
Family oriented great culture good work life balance
Cons
None I can think of
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Recruitment and onboarding have been great.
Cons
Nothing so far, it's all been good.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Low stress environment, great offices, light on inter-departmental politics, flat heirarchy, well-intentioned colleagues, Mutual's ethos. With no shareholder pressures, the company has the financial leeway to enter some interesting areas (if they weren't facing competitor pressures in their core).
Cons
Lagging behind the market in key dimensions, slow at implementing, risk-averse DM'ing (governance and finance dominate). A hard worker can shine and gain wide experience, however that experience won't be at the leading-edge of retail FS.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
People focused and nice offices
Cons
Poor leadership and no investment in IT
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Supportive of staff, opportunities for growth and development
Cons
Can’t think of any - that’s why I’m still there!
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Amazing colleagues, the Society cares about its staff
Cons
Salaries a little in the low side, but a very good pension, usual large company perks etc. They are flexible with work/life at Head Office although if you work in a branch obviously you have to be present.
