Nous Group Reviews

This is a surprising review and doesn't gel with other reviews, or the feedback we receive via our Great Place to Work survey results or directly from Nousers. The language and grammar in the review do not reflect the calibre of people at Nous, and in our Sydney office. Turnover is sitting at a healthy level around 15% - the amount of people leaving is normal for an organisation of 400 employees, and less than typical in consulting firms. I am sorry that your experience was not a positive one and I hope that you find a company that you enjoying working for.

I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience at Nous. Finding a work environment and role you enjoy is something I personally believe is important in life. I wish you all the best with your current role and future career, and hope you have found a company that provides a work environment and experience that you find rewarding .

Thank you for reviewing Nous as a 'great company'. I am glad that you are enjoying the culture, including the flexibility and chance to work on a variety of projects. We are always striving to create opportunities to work on different projects and industries - if only it was an easy thing to achieve as often as we would like! And yes, it can be high stress at times as we dig deep to solve complex client problems. Ideally, it's productive stress which drives high performance and great client outcomes.

What a lovely early Christmas present to read this review! When I think back to Friday night at our costume Nous night and the packed dance floor filled with Nousers of all ages, stages and offices, it reminds me of the joy of Nous. There is something special about a workplace where everyone looks forward to the Christmas party and spending a fun night with their work friends. Having worked at Nous for over 8 years I can honestly say I love working here.

Thank you for your detailed review. It's valuable to receive the feedback and for others to be able to read about your experience. Nous is perhaps a quiet achiever! We do lots of fabulous work, and our clients recognise this when they vote for us as Best Management Consulting Firm in the AFR client choice awards. Our brand name recognition is increasing and will continue to do so for all the right reasons: bold, personalised consulting services delivered by expert, engaging people. Nous continues to focus on the private sector, in addition to the public sector, as we see the opportunity for positive influence. We are committed to finding the right opportunities in the private sector. High performance is important at Nous, recognising that sometimes great people have quiet periods. We track performance over a period of time, to ensure we make the right decisions about individual performance. Our research shows we pay at market rate. We also provide a great working environment, lots of opportunity for professional and personal growth, terrific colleagues and a sense of adventure and fun. There are some things money can't buy :)

I am sorry that you felt that your remuneration was low. We have undertaken benchmarking via AON Hewitt, which confirmed we pay competitively in our chosen market. Having just completed our review of performance, charge outs and salaries for the mid-year cycle I can state, with confidence, that consistent performance is definitely the driver of recognition. We faciliate a process which sources feedback from across the business and makes this transparent during the faciliated feedback sessions. Multiple calibration touchpoints, with different people across the business, as we discuss charge outs and salaries, brings a diversity of view and increases fairness. We also analsye the data to identify any potential bias that we may be unaware of. This allows us to carefully consider the decisions we make. Thank you for recognising the great culture, the engaging office environment and work/life flexibility. These are all an important part of Nous' overall employment proposition.

What a great start to the day to wake up and read this Glassdoor review! Thank you for sharing your positive experience. It thrills me to know that our employees enjoy the Nous work environment and that you, personally, have found a great place for you to work.
