National Australia Bank Senior Business Analyst Reviews

Pros

Company has some of the most experienced and capable professionals that can be hired in the industry. Most of the employees generally have a good attitude towards in getting the job done right.

Cons

I worked in an area where Agile is a huge problem when delivering IT projects". Unrealistic timeline expectation from business case to project delivery and this has created big discrepancy which resulted low business confidence. There is a resistance in middle management for the deployed solution due to operation cost funding issue to consume /support the solution. Has seen workplace bullying behaviour before, and HR has not dealt with the issue appropriately and covered up. The victim left the company with a bad appraisal.

Pros

work-life balance good pay relative to other industry

Cons

- enforced mandatory leave for contractors with little notice - contractors are labeled as "external" in the email - shocking communication from upper management, often find out about restructure from the news before any official communication - numerous poor decisions made by top management over many years - cost cutting done very abruptly

Pros

Flexible working hours. Lots of opportunities to move into different roles.

Cons

With all the restructures there is a huge gap in capable people with a lot of experience.

Pros

Wages are high. Work hours are standard.

Cons

They may claim to be equal and fair in letter, but the cold truth is, if you’re not Australian, you’re looked upon differently. A cut throat culture. A entire level of management is created who bureaucratise, are ruthless and are doing very well in stifling the culture of bringing resourcefulness to address the situation. They will cut your bonus pay since they directly evaluate you despite not being your functional manager, and plenty of biases, distortions and favouritism comes into play, and BA’s are not able to function at their optimum best for their projects.
