Employee - Associate

Collegial and extremely collaborative.

Employee - Analyst

Wish I could change how the firm is too organised and mechanical

Employee - Analyst

Its a great brand to have on your CV

Employee - Analyst

Needs a more relaxed culture

Employee - Associate

It's a great place to work, with fantastic work life balance. Nomura are very sure they want to compete in specific markets and products. They don't bend over backwards trying to accommodate clients simply because someone asked them something. They are very sure they want to compete where they have a significant advantage.

Employee - Associate

Since the Lehman acquisition, everyone knows Nomura. It has a great reputation in the market, and is recognized as a competitive and well paying firm to work for. These qualities extend themselves to your resume and help you when you are looking for the next role.

Employee - Associate

Collaborative, emphasis on learning, lots of training and mentoring, people development, emphasis on cross border hence very international, lots of opportunities to rotate roles within the firm

Employee - Vice President

There is definitely a disconnect in the culture aspect of the bank. American divisions need to be much more cognizant of Japanese customs and business protocols.

Employee - Vice President

Best to know working here is what you make of it. There will be no training, no mentorship and no coddling of people. Its your business to know your business, and they are no there to train you to do your job.

Employee - Vice President

The people in my division made it a great place to be, not necessarily the firm. The firm in general jumps in and out of markets that it doesn't know well, and once it hits its loss threshold, they exit.

Employee - Vice President

Large entity, sometimes processes may become too slow and bureaucratic

Employee - Vice President

Business oriented but with a very conservative approach, client is important but integrity and conduct go first

Employee - Associate

I would recommend Nomura to a friend based on what sort of experience he/she is looking for. Nomura hours/lifestyle may be better than others but the training and deal flow are lacking. It is not the best place to get entry level experience as a junior banker.

Employee - Associate

It is a large bank on a global scale but still relatively small in the US, which presents growth opportunity.

Employee - Associate

I don't have much to compare Nomura to but the culture isn't bad. People are kind and courteous for the most part. I don't like that the culture is a little lazy; people are not wanting to work as hard as bulge bracket banks or some well-known boutiques.

Employee - Vice President

Would suggest a change to the company by hiring more Americans

Employee - Vice President

Learn how to speak Japanese

Employee - Vice President

Very respectful and classy work environment.

Employee - Vice President

I would recommend this company but it needs stability

Employee - Vice President

Nomura Holdings is growing
