Nous Group Reviews

It's so great to know that the culture we work hard to maintain and grow is one which makes work a rewarding experience. Thanks for your review and glad you are enjoying the culture, and the increasing profile of Nous in Perth. I think culture is everything too!... MoreLess

Thanks for your review and for embracing the responsibility that is available at Nous.
I am disappointed to hear that you have experienced or observed poor behaviour from Principals. If you feel comfortable sharing feedback with the People Team I would love you to do so; that way we can address the poor behaviour. Will definitely pass on the Glassdoor feedback so we can be alert to what is happening.
Diversity and inclusion is something we are focused on at the moment, ensuring we have a diverse and inclusive workforce across all dimensions of diversity. We always look for the best people, are aware of unconscious bias and have a number of strategies in place to address.... MoreLess

Thank you for your review. We do work very hard at Nous, to deliver great performance for our clients. Our Executive & Project Assistant roles are a key part of the team and integral to our success . It is true that there is limited career progression in these roles, however we provide enormous variety and stretch.
We benchmarked our remuneration in 2017 and are comfortable we pay competitively at our chosen market position.
I am glad you enjoyed the culture and working with wonderful colleagues.... MoreLess

I am really sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your experience at Nous, and that in particular you are not feeling supported by HR (or as we call it, the People Team).
We take feedback from these reviews seriously and will be exploring your concerns further so we can take appropriate action. We’re sorry that your employee experience is at odds with the experience enjoyed by the majority of Nousers. We pride ourselves on being as a recognised Great Place to Work (based on employee feedback) and we focus our effort to ensure that all Nousers feel comfortable raising concerns directly with the People Team or via alternate channels, such as Performance Coaches, Office Leads or directly to the Managing Director.
The bullying allegations are especially concerning and we’ll respond to these to maintain a safe workplace. I encourage you to consult our Bullying and Harassment Policy so you are apprised of the resolution pathways available within Nous and if appropriate, encourage you to seek confidential support through our current Employee Assistance Provider (EAP) – Converge International.... MoreLess

Thanks for the review. We are lucky to have built a strong reputation within the public sector, by delivering high quality work over the last 17 years. As you say, we are increasingly working with the private sector, and member organisations such as universities.... MoreLess

So glad to hear that the Nous employee value proposition is alive and well! We have recently focused effort on learning and development and its really great to hear that effort is having a noticeable impact.
The question of specialisation has been raised recently, so is something we are now turning our attention to so we can find the right balance between variety and specialisation.... MoreLess

Thanks for sharing your feedback and for highlighting both the pros and cons of your experience, as there is always a balance! Your advice to management is welcomed, as this helps us to focus our learning and development, communication and messaging across Nous. Recent work we have completed to map career pathways and learning maps aligned with our performance expectations will help provide clearer career direction. Next up is to define the technical expertise pathway, so we can help people to specialise, as appropriate.... MoreLess

Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased you had an enjoyable experience as an intern and had a chance to experience our great culture. You are right in saying a high degree of autonomy can be confusing at first, but we find that most people thrive with autonomy, once they settle in and understand how empowering it can be.... MoreLess

Thank you for your review. We love the fact that Nous has a great culture that, as you say, fosters collaboration, learning, positive influence and self-management.
We recognise that we work hard , as we are an organisation that thrives on high performance. What this means for us is we push ourselves to do better quality work than we thought possible, that clients are very pleased with our work and that in a highly competitive consulting market our people are very highly regarded. We believe we pay competitively in the market in which we want to compete and for the performance expectations we have. We also recognise that salary is only one aspect of the employment offer, and working at Nous is not just about salary, it's about interesting projects, great people and the chance to work on things that matter.
We are glad you enjoyed your time at Nous.... MoreLess

We do pride ourselves on providing a supportive environment where people are encouraged to learn and grow and to be the best they can be. We have a collaborative culture, as we believe this creates a positive work environment and drives excellent performance outcomes for the whole business.... MoreLess
