My Perspective

After conducting extensive research, I have determined that Natwest is among the best workplaces available.
Here's why:

The company promotes transparency in its practices, and it prioritizes its employees as key stakeholders.
Furthermore, Natwest's initiatives for upskilling employees are exemplary.
In terms of compensation and benefits, Natwest offers packages that exceed industry standards.
Natwest actively participates in many HR initiatives, such as the Transgender Internship Program, which
demonstrates the organization's role as a change maker and leader within the industry.
Reviews on Glassdoor and Indeed suggest that the company has a friendly work culture, which contributes
to its reputation as a desirable workplace.
