Junior Analyst Review

I'm titled as a Junior Analyst at Nomura, where I primarily handle managerial reporting. I'm responsible for producing and maintaining various documents comprising a bi-weekly report that is passed via mail to the department heads and executive directors of the company regarding progress and highlights of global projects in the IT portfolio. Outside of that I have undertaken numerous requests from other departments to produce further specialised reports on demand, and am about to undertake a Java project for another department in order to develop my skills further.

In the course of my role so far I have become highly proficient in Excel, including the creation of custom VB macros to generate complex and refreshable weekly reports, I have learn how to use Business Objects, I have learnt the programming languages VB and Java to a rudimentary level, I have worked closely with a couple of team members to overhaul the state of reporting within my department and am loaned out to other departments as something of an SME in the creation of specialised and tailored reports. Through my training provider I have taken courses in various business skills and practices, learnt SQL and Java, and networking.

I very much enjoy my time here at Nomura, the benefits are extremely good and the people are kind and friendly.

I feel that I receive recognition where it is deserved and am being utilised as a resource on a regular basis.

Organisation is no problem, but could have been more apparent. Outside of initial orientation organisation consisted primarily of occasional training sessions booked by my training provider (QA) and general work as provided by my manager.

Accessibility, support, and guidance while on course and via email is strong, I have no complaints, and feel well-cared for.

Though I've had no reason to contact HR, I feel that the HR presence at Nomura is strong and quick to respond to personal queries etc. My mentor is easily contacted and happy to help. General attitude is very open to support.

Very well, my annual compensation is more than enough to support my expenditure with regards to work and daily needs. The company provides a travel loan system to ease the financial burden of travel cost.

There are often events that are freely joinable as a Nomura employee, social environments are easily accessible and nearby.

Yes

Very strong employer, good standing in general, helpful employees.

Appeal to the general professionalism of an international banking organisation, but more than anything demonstrate the will to try.
