Employee - Associate
A little lazy in the Americas.
Employee - Analyst
Make the placement and rewards systems more of a meritocracy.
Employee - Analyst
The more robotic you are, the better. But, the pay is decent.
Employee - Analyst
Nomura Holdings is slow with opaque transparency and communication with other groups. Everyone was relatively intelligent, but not very interested in helping with much outside of their daily tasks.
Employee - Associate
I was there at a time when not too many Americans worked for Nomura, so I'd suggest implementing an initial program of cultural awareness and understanding.
Employee - Associate
Be mindful that there are two cultures coexisting at this company and both must be honored.
Employee - Associate
It was run by all Japanese executives as a Japanese firm would be run in Tokyo. As the only American woman in my group, it was, at times, challenging.
Employee - Vice President
Culture of insecurity from management. lack of consistent bcking for fledgling Americas business from japanese HQ
Employee - Vice President
Cultrue is insecure and lack of coherent strategy to compete against top tier banks
Employee - Managing Director
Would not recomment as a place to work unless my friend were Japanese. Culturally a difficult place to understand and assimilate for non-Japanese employees and only limited effort is made to understand the cultural implication of being a Japanese bank in regions outside of Japan or outside where Japan has had a traditional presence.
Employee - Managing Director
Culture is inherently Japanese. Which is not bad in and of itself, but can be difficult to understand and adhere to as a non Japanese employee. I also believe that it makes it difficult for them to understand and appreciate the cultural values of and motivators for non Japanese employees.
Employee - Associate
The manager you work for is of the utmost importance. There is a lot of favoritism here at all levels and messy political agendas. If you find yourself under a micro manager, if you can't adapt to their style, you get squashed.
Employee - Associate
Remember, this is not the end, Nomura should be a stepping stone to a better place.
Employee - Associate
They say it's a "small-big family" but I think that's more for the people that have been there 10+ years. Nomura went through exponential growth in the past decade, and they're still adapting to the increased head count. They are also trying to compete with the top US firms, and go head to head with GS. They've got a lot of other firms to beat before they can reach GS and the ppl in the firm will step on top of each other to get there, instead of helping each other out. Highly competitive, dog eat dog culture at Nomura, despite what they try to say at town halls.
Employee - Senior Vice President
Management and priorities change too often at this company.
Employee - Senior Vice President
Japanese management from Tokyo can and will override any decisions make at the local level, and isn't always attuned to the local market or local culture.
Employee - Senior Vice President
There was the local culture, which was created by the Americans in NY. It was fine. But the culture that came down from Tokyo was very authoritative, and changed too frequently.
Employee - Senior Vice President
Needs to improve risk reward and meritocracy.
Employee - Senior Vice President
You will never be taken seriously if you are not Japanese
Employee - Senior Vice President
Japanese are a different race and the rest is the rest
