National Australia Bank Senior Engineer Reviews

Likes

Culture is definitely not good. Management team is still on the belief that they control everything and team members promotion is completely on their hands. Impacts personal life as well, due to this micro and mis management behaviour of “Head of”, Leadership and manager personalities in NAB.

Dislikes

Heavily political setup in NCR office. Mindset of Manager - I manage things, I manage team, Team under me should listen completely, there shouldn’t be any objection to manager’s comments - otherwise performance and appraisal will be targeted, all these doesn’t really help.

Some of the things such as heart beat survey is a good practice by the organization where you rate your managers and give feedback to organisation on how things are. It does have an impact on the managers and their attitude but is only effective where there is a big team and your manager is unable to identify who gave the negative feedback. For smaller team, they have figured out a way around these feedbacks by harassing their team members till the time they don’t resign or take an IJP. The organization promotes employees to take their leaves...Read More

The culture is bad, situation has gone from bad to worse here. They have hired bad leaders at the top who are impacting the overall employee experience, have zero leadership/people skills. Support functions are one of the worst functions to work with. Zero work life balance, i have been employed with them for 2 years now and while ihave 27 annual leaves i have hardly taken 10 leaves in an year because of the work pressure. Working on weekends is normal. Working a 12-16 hours shift is normal in many functions and you wont even get paid overtime. Bad language is being used on the floor, leaders turn a blind eye towards complaints. Basically you are left on your own to survive, they know you are in need and will not leave so quickly. Australia stakeholders are mad and will escalate on a daily basis for even the smallest of issues. Basically Aussie and not happy business is moving to Vietnam and India, and will do whatever is possible to make your lives tough...Read More

Can do much much much better.

Dislikes

They hire non banking people at Senior VP level to manage hard core corporate banking ops. It is just not the right way to run a new corporate bank offshore unit. They run banking ops like a typical call centre and create useless pressure within 1 month of joining to meet outrageous targets like we are attending calls. They dont have a clear roadmap for their 2-5 year road map and are 100% dependent on onshore bosses. Whatever onshore bosses will say, the Indian leadership tends to agree them blindly without introspection....Read More

A lot is driven without ethics and professional transparency. The newly set-up India entity needs a lot to streamline the in terms of the ethical practices and employee centricity.

Dislikes

Red-tapism and Monarchial attitude of SLT. I hope Neeraj and Andrew sees this before it's too late and the India entity turns out to be a collapse.

Nothing to like about this organization.

Dislikes

1. Discrepancy between the salary they offered ( mentioned in the offer letter ) and what you actually get monthly in hand. (changes in the HR policy which you are bound to accept) 2. Not providing Cabs ( at the time of joining they said that they were planning to provide cabs once the headcount increased but after joining they said there is a cost involved in that so they can't provide cabs) 3. Cafeteria - this company doesn't have its own cafeteria for its employees. We had to share the Gartner Cafeteria for which we were allowed for only 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon. now coming to the work-related issues - 1. No internal QA teams - there is no internal QA team established so external QA feedback will directly hit your scorecards and later on that will impact your rating, bonus, and appraisal. 2. TL does not have the necessary process knowledge or basic professional manners to handle a team. 3. Managers /TL are not approachable you cannot reach out to them for any professional issues if you do you will be asked to simply leave the company as per them "there are 4 people in line waiting to join "NAB. ( there are the exact words spoken by the inline manager) 4. No transparency / No documentation - Every discussion you have with your TL or manager is verbal and later they will deny any conversation you had with them. 5. Rude and unprofessional behavior - TL or Managers are rude. they think they are paying us from their own pockets. 6. Partiality or Favoritism - TL/ Managers favors specific employees you will surely get a promotion if you pay special attention to them ( if you know what i mean) 7. Policies are not employee-friendly but Manager-friendly. The manager will try to discourage you from reaching out to HR and according to him "the HR will do whatever he says" (again exact same words told by manager ) 8. HR Department is of no use. They exactly do whatever the management says. They are puppets. 9. No appraisal and the manager says don't expect too much to avoid disappointment in the future. Note - If you are still a part of this company. Leave as soon as possible. Horrible company to work with under poor leadership. If you are planning to Join this company please look for other options....Read More
