Pros

Barclays is a place where junior people have opportunity to make big decisions. They let many young, relatively inexperienced people manage big teams.

Cons

This place is very poorly managed. There is no communication, no feedback, no career development, and no teamwork. They let very inexperienced people be in charge and there is a lot of delegation and not a lot of work in the mid and low level management.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
