Data Analyst Review

My role was that of a data analyst I was responsible for looking at internal and external pipelines that employees would use to be able to do their jobs and customers that would apply for products that nationwide offered, in my day to day role it would be a mix of providing insight on these pipelines for the business by using SQL and running complex queries to see where the business could improve to make our internal systems more efficient and our customers experience much smoother and then loading them into power bi to build out detailed high level reports that could then be presented to teams to see how they could improve.

Yes I had the chance to take on 3 crucial projects that provided insight into our customer behaviour in the mortgage area of the organisation, I was able to lead the project working closely with stakeholders and other analysts to problem solve and delegate tasks to be completed this enabled me to develop as a professional massively and has increased my confidence in the work place it also gave me that challenge and the desire to learn new things to get the job done.

Yes I have learnt a lot of new skills ranging from both soft skills to technical skills, the organisation provides opportunities to develop these skills daily from your day to day work to training opportunities some of the skills I have learnt are that of DAX, Teradata Platform use, Team work skills, Public Speaking, Presentation as well as developing my existing skills in SQL, Python and communication skills

I received an abundance of support from both my line manager and early careers team they had made sure that if I ran into any problems it would be no issue at all to contact them to have a chat about how I was feeling or if I had any issues this ranged from both my work to my personal life which was nice as it allowed for me to carry out my work to my fullest capability, the society also offers anonymous support that colleagues could take and use while I personally never used these services they are highly recommended and used in nationwide

The company culture and general atmosphere were really nice despite being one of the youngest people in the organisation at 20 I never felt that my opinions were ignored / looked down upon which helped build my confidence as I was working with people that had been in the industry for 10-20 years which did show me how nice it is to work at the organisation its a very relaxed and fun place to work

I enjoyed my placement massively I was able to enjoy getting the experience of what working in a big organisation was like while also being able to enjoy the social benefits of it as well especially working in London the socials that the organisation would do were amazing which allows for employees to network within the organisation and provides that feeling of belonging

Yes
