Absolutely nothing at all. Period!

Cons

The Chief Risk Officer has absolutely no idea what he’s doing. He promotes people based on ‘personal relationships’ rather than experience, skill or capability. HR does nothing about this, they actually encourage it.

Pros

Worked with a lot of really talented, smart and hard-working people before they were all eventually resigned when they realised BOQ is a toxic wasteland.

Cons

I worked for BOQ and held several positions across the company for over five years. Every position would eventually hit a dead end due to the sheer incompetence of most leaders and managers. I have worked in retail branches and the head office and almost every team is run by a toxic, emotionally immature child. No one within the business wants to take any accountability for their mistakes and will instead kick the can down the line to the analyst/officer/teller at the bottom and senior management will accept this. BOQ firmly believe that it is never the manager to blame - only the person being managed. If you question anything or simply refuse to fall in line (god forbid you are innovative) you will be bullied, harassed or managed out. I have seen several intelligent, eager and driven people booted out of the company because at BOQ - inertia is the way and the company will always aim for the middle. Despite being a very small company, no one will work together. Teams will not collaborate to deliver outcomes and as a result, the smallest obstacles cannot be overcome. Common sense does not exist. Company-wide culture of no-accountability and fear to make even the smallest executive decision means that even departments that are capable of making change will refuse to do so. As a result, we are left with incredibly outdated and clunky internal and external technological systems which results in a poor customer service experience. A lot of internal gossip about the business being sold to Suncorp. No one has any faith in the company so the attitude is 'why bother'?
