good employer but with some issues - Software Engineer Bendigo Bank Employee Review

Work from home option for people not based in melbourne

Bad working culture, layoffs often and contracting culture so everyone acts in their own interest to prolong the contract in my opinion.

If you have a semblance of ability, you can progress because most people are hopeless. It’s small enough that change should be possible, if not for the complete lack of agency that is afforded by Executive to actually get anything done.

Bulling is tolerated in senior ranks and covered up by Executives. risk management is seen as an inconvenience and the remediation program ineffective at addressing root causes. the executive lack leadership maturity and tenacity needed to be a real competitor in the market. UP is the only shining light and they are right to keep it completely seperate from the dredge that is main bank. The EVP isn’t worth the paper it’s written on because the employee experience and culture is one of the worst in banking. Don’t let the lure of the ‘community bank’ fool you - it doesn't do what it says on the tin! If you work for a big bank and think it will be better at Bendigo - don’t. Stay where you are - you’re better off and the money will certainly be better where you are
