Coventry Building Society reviews

CBS decided to do a call to arms to get positive reviews on glassdoor due to the poor reviews they were having and the difficulties they were having at recruitment. This should be enough of a statement about how bad it is working at CBS. The tech and working practices are out of date. There is a massive clique culture of an old guard and now an ex Severn Trent group. This makes progression very difficult unless your face fits. Poor managers who are very poorly trained and allowed to show many negative traits. Oncall is a complete mess and they keep avoid sorting it out as its a massive mess. If your a favourite you can avoid it otherwise your out of luck. People are allowed to avoid BAU work as their managers have clear favourites and are allowed to do whatever they choose. Managers are fixated on getting people back into the office as CBS like to be able to see people in the office rather than any other need. There is a lack of diversity at CBS and most of the senior BAME members have left. They signed up to the race at work charter but wont publish any data as they know its awful and only play lip service to these things. They will claim its a safe space but they removed anonymous questions due to getting too many hard questions and wanted to ensure they got easier questions.

Interactions with management of incident management team. Very distressing. Management cliques in IT meaning bullying concerns from the majority fall on deaf ears. Major lack of diversity in senior management, which is likely the cause of no action taken against bullies. They say to come and talk to them about bullying and then do nothing when you open up!! The CBS culture in IT and the wider business varies massively. The wider business appears a better place to work.
