Hi and thanks for sharing your feedback. Since you are a former employee that mentions 'free coffee' my guess is you worked for NAB pre Covid since 98% of our team members are remote and on site coffee service is suspended. That being said, I appreciate the "Pro's" you listed as 1) GREAT people (agreed!), 2) GREAT management (LOVE to hear that!), and of course the coffee! I cannot agree with you more that we have the most amazing people at NAB who, inspite of the pandemic, do all they can to work smart and have fun. I have never seen a more collaborative, problem solving focused group of people and it is showing up again this year in our company results. I would love to be able to address your "Con's" or "Advice to Management" but you really didn't leave any actionable feedback to respond to. I still value your opinions and we are always looking for ways to continuously improve, so I encourage you to reach out to me personally to discuss further at any time. Thank you for your review, while I am not at all satisfied with a one star rating...I am very happy that the things that matter most - our people and our leaders - ranked high in your review.

Fast Paced Company with Room to Grow

Pros

Fast Paced, very collaborative, values opinions and will implement your ideas. Cares about the health and well-being of their employees-most of the workforce is still 100% remote.

Cons

Sometimes work life balance can be difficult. As much as they want to provide you balance, there is just a lot of work and projects that need to get done. Run very lean.

I was encouraged by your recent review and want to thank you for sharing your feedback. I am happy that you have felt our push to solicit and, even more importantly, act upon feedback from our team members. We have been able to really move the needle in health, wellness and especially mental wellbeing thanks to great suggestions and pointed feedback from our team members. Since, as you mentioned, approximately 98% of our workforce remains remote, its more important than ever to over communicate and intentionally reach out to each individual and "check in". Thank you for your "Con's" feedback as well. While we have made great strides in wellness, we know that many team members - especially those that are remote and tend not to 'shut down' at the end of the normal work day - are still struggling with balancing work and life. We tend not to refer to it as balancing anymore, but more of blending work and life. Since you are a current team member, I encourage you to reach out to your HR BP or to me directly if you have any potential solutions for helping our team members work on more effective work/life blending...I am all ears and we know we can always do better. Thank you again for taking time to respond, we are grateful for your feedback and happy that you are satisfied with NAB!

Pros

Collaborative and results-oriented culture; employees who will help you with anything you need. Impressed that C-Suite openly recognizes individual departments for their efforts. Strong focus on communication and inclusive culture.

Cons

Haven't seen much in the way of cons. Pay is not terribly competitive (but benefits are really good and work/life balance is worth it).

This is such a great posting, and I love your tag line...if there is one thing I hear over and over it is how NICE and HELPFUL the team members are at NAB. We really do have amazing team members and as the levels of collaboration, communication and innovation increase so does the strength of the relationships and the realization that we have a lot of cool, talented people working hard to make NAB successful. I am so happy that your first year with NAB has been positive and you are finding the support nd resources you need to balance work and life which is critical. I appreciate your "advice to management" and will share this idea with Jim Parkinson, Kirk Haggarty and David Greenberg to see if we can find a way to keep our leaders informed AND share business updates and important information with all team members, it is beneficial. Thank you again for taking time to share your positive feedback, we are grateful.
