Previous reviews are true! Hard place to be. - Lending Manager Recognise Bank Employee Review

Fast growing business full of people who want to do the right thing for colleagues, customers and clients Plenty of scope to shape your role and the business Meritocratic - you’re encouraged to identify and own things that will make the business better. Light touch approach to getting the signoff required to make a real difference Warm, friendly and welcoming with very approachable management team

Scale up businesses aren’t for everyone- this isn’t a place, yet, where all of the internal processes are fully embedded. You have to think for yourself and deal with some shades of grey Fast paced environment with lots of simultaneous changes so you have to be prepared and able to roll your sleeves up and muck in - regardless of grade and tenure Won’t suit people who need or want to be told what to do, how and when

The majority of the Executive Committee demonstrate limited proficiency in CRE which inadvertently affords operational autonomy to those of us conducting the work

Pointed out that my previous review was removed likely due to one word taken out of context but its wholly accurate therefore I will re-word and re-submit. Nepotism is endemic within this organisation and we continue to see this, A personal or social connection to the Executive team is likely to get you a job regardless of qualifications or demonstrable experience. A prevailing sense of self importance of some individuals is disproportionate to their actual competence. Constant effort to elevate the professional profile of a single individual- this has marginally improved since some of the reviews came out and feedback but still mainly all about one person. We conduct ourselves with measurable caution mindful of the risk of being targeted should we speak out. Once a decision is made to end an individuals tenure the decision is final and affects capable employees. This has contributed to a pervasive sense of operational uncertainty.
