Barclays Global Investors – “not a great Employer for IT Professionals”

Pros

Its good to work for a market leader, especially in a falling market

Cons

Technology management is appalling and quality is quite low. A lot of dead wood in management positions. No investment is made in process improvement and technology direction changes every year based on the latest buzz-words.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on quality and standards. People want to work on things they can be proud of.
