Business Analyst Review

Business Analyst working on a project. On a daily basis I do a range of different tasks from attending meetings with stakeholders, preparing packs for meetings and preparing the minutes for meetings. I also undertake tasks such as looking at the risks and issues for the project and carrying out testing for the project. No two days are the same!

I have learned a number of new skills, I have been on courses which have developed me as a person as well as helped me in my daily role. I have just finished my Apprenticeship and gained a level 3 apprenticeship in Business and Admin.

I work with a very welcoming and helpful team which makes work enjoyable. I am always busy which I think is a bonus as I am never left bored or with nothing to do. RBS is focused on developing their staff and helping them to succeed which I think is great and offers you a great opportunity in the bank and rewarding career.

Since day one I have been involved within the project I am working on and my manager has always ensured I am included within the team. I attend networking events which allows me to meet new people and build working relationships. Recognition is given and can be something as simple as a "thank you" email from being nominated for a Living Our Values (LOV) award.

It did take some time for me to understand what my programme consisted of and coming to the end of my apprenticeship there was some confusion about what would happen next so this is an area that could be improved.

I had a very supportive assessor/training provider who was always happy to help me with any queries. She was friendly and always made sure I was happy with the work I was completing.

I have been fortunate to have a supportive manager who is always helping push me to do better and take on new opportunities. He is always happy to sit down and discuss any queries and always ensures I understand everything that is asked of me and know what is expected of me.

The salary and rewards package offered to Apprentices is very good, especially for an Apprenticeship. The wage is very fair and allows me to live and work comfortably. The rewards package is excellent and offers everything from a pension to private medical cover.

There are a lot of opportunities outside of work as RBS are always looking to help the community and do a lot for charity. There is plenty opportunity for volunteering and helping out.

Yes

RBS is an exciting place to work and an organisation that is always striving to do better. RBS offers many opportunities and a rewarding career with a good salary and benefits package.

Take time to read through the kinds of questions you may be asked at interviews and have a think about your biggest achievements so far and why you want to work for RBS.
