Bank of New Zealand Reviews

After about 6 months of being a grad, you are ready to move into a role. And they will move you to a role at this point as it is pointless paying someone to be an extra person when they are capable of moving into a team. Grads are the head of the queue to move to an SA role. Grads don't get a lot of exposure to other parts of the bank, so moving elsewhere can be tricky but not impossible.

We have a head of sustainability who has been in charge to give a couple of talks. We have sustainability champions throughout the company. We offer cheaper rates for people who want to borrow sustainably.

The culture at BNZ is very good. Within the work and outside there is a willingness to socialize and get to know each other.

Since I've been here, I have seen talks on working with adhd, maori business, trans people and many more. All hosted by BNZ

At the moment I provide support on a commercial set alongside the partner and SA. My responsibilities include: - Writing Credit - answering customer requests - Managing the portfolios risk profile.

Managers make themselves accessible and are easily approached. Performance feedback is useful.

BNZ has well equipped office's with plenty of space, facility and in a good central location. The dress code is generally smart, but follows a dress for your day protocol.

Initial job application (cv, cover letter) -> pre-recorded video interview -> in-person interview. Asked about relevant experience. Time that I did well. Time I had feedback. Try to answer in a STAR format. The group challenges are more about seeing how you work in a team rather than the result you produce. They also want to see how you can add value, so be yourself.

Pay in general appears reasonable. 6 weeks' annual leave. health insurance, pay protection insurance, life insurance.

Informally, people are very willing to help and lend their expertise. Formally the training is predominately around elearnings, with some calls that help.

The company has good flexibility when it comes to hours, and is accommodating around personal lives.

I am dubious of anything that a bank claims, but BNZ says they invest responsibly, so I'll give them a six. I don't really see any movement in the reduction direction but mainly just investing in lower-emission companies
