First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Nationwide Building Society.
Fraud Analyst
Don't bother applying for Nationwide Building Society, seriously. This is my third interview with them and I got rejected even though I answered all the questions and spent 2-3 weeks preparing. I have a Master's degree, work experience, and good communication skills, but it seems like most companies are hiring internally and just posting jobs for show, giving external candidates no chance. Nationwide is one of them. I'm begging them for feedback now. I got an email saying I was rejected 24 hours after my interview. When I emailed HR for feedback, they said I'd probably get an email in a week or two about whether I was successful. So confusing!
- STAR: Tell me about a time you had to decide what's right or faced a challenge.
- STAR: Describe a time you engaged with others or worked in a team.
- STAR: Give an example of how you got the job done under pressure or a deadline.
Financial Crime Analyst
found the role through a friend and applied in May by sending my CV and answering some questions online. I then got invited to complete online assessments: a situational judgment test, a checking assessment, and a numerical assessment, plus a 2-minute video. I didn't hear back for a long time, so I had to chase them up myself. My colleague got a phone call invitation for an interview. After another week, I got missed calls from the team asking me for an interview. The process was really slow, and booking the interview was a challenge. Finally, I had an interview via Zoom with two people. It involved the usual questions about my suitability for the role, three competency-based questions, and a case study where I had to identify red flags from two customer profiles to investigate further. The interview lasted two hours and felt like a really positive experience.
- For the role's x3 competencies (get the job done, decide what's right, always learning), you can choose between two questions for each, but you can't go back once you've picked one.
- Given x2 customers, what red flags would you identify to investigate further as part of a case study?
Fraud Analyst
After applying online, you'll get an online assessment to complete within 48 hours. It includes a Situational Judgement Assessment (about 20 mins) where you respond to customer scenarios like instant messaging, a Checking Assessment (about 5 mins) to spot errors and patterns in codes, and a Numerical Assessment (about 10 mins) to test how you handle numbers. They really like the STAR method, so be ready with examples. Then, you'll have a 45-minute interview with two managers, focusing on STAR method questions.
