      Hands down the best Investment Bank to work for.... - Sales Single Dealer Platform Barclays Employee Review

      Pros

      Friendly welcoming people (helped by the "no jerk" policy)! Emphasis on teamwork - only looking out for yourself is not accepted. Completely different atmosphere to the investment banks where I have worked previously - no hire and fire! Fantastic graduate development programme and ongoing learning schemes. They emphasise a balance between work and family life and the compensation/benefits package is almost best on the street! London Graduate salaries in particular. Ability to work abroad and move roles is an added benefit.

      Cons

      Only recently considered to be a top tier investment house. Has grown so quickly that the back office/infrastructure occasionally struggles to keep up.

      Pros

      Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

      Cons

      Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
