Bankwest – “Broad range of people make for a fun environment.”

Pros

Working within a second tier bank the size of Bankwest allows you to be heard and not drown in bureaucracy. You still have the benefit of CBA as a parent company so if you are on a strong career path and are willing to more to Sydney the option is there. Perth is a sunny relaxed city so a good option if you are escaping gloomy weather somewhere else in the world (London perhaps?).

Cons

Sometimes the wrong voices are heard and things go a little down the wrong track. As there is a flatter structure you may need to start playing the political games a little earlier. Some might see that as a benefit?

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to all parts of the bank when drawing together strategy.
