Depends on who you know

New York, NY (US)

Current Employee – been working at Barclays

ProsPretty relaxed for a financial firm. Work is easy. Good opportunity for advancement in the UK.

ConsThe focus on meritocracy is really a sham. Promotions have more to do with who you know and how long you've been around. Equities are decent, but across the majority of the internal engineering organization - most of the talent has already walked out the door. XP desktops are still the norm.

Advice to Senior ManagementA better focus on well thought out technical leadership and modern technologies would be a welcome change
