When I joined Aldermore in 2019 it was refreshing to join a bank that was a bit different. It didn't have the usual banking culture of bullying, do more with less and do it yesterday culture ,and actually cared about its customers.
Management was supportive and listened to their staff.
Then in 2021 the CEO ( and founder) of the bank retired and a new CEO came in. With this the great collaborative working culture and friendly working environment was thrown out of the window. The majority of the old guard were removed and replaced with the usual power crazed minions you find at places like Barclays/Lloyds etc.
The corporate banking culture came in, and as a previous reviewer said, it's now like working for any other bank but for less money. Aldermore pay well below market rates, but that's not such a big deal if the working environment you are in is good.
All the good staff started leaving, most by choice and others forced. The place is now in total meltdown and hard to see how it will recover (unless that's the plan).
All I can say to anyone who has recently been offered or accepted a role at Aldermore is don't do it. There plenty of jobs on the market at the moment at better organisations, offering better reward.
