Pros

Great offering, Name in the market, great opportunities to move around and do different things. Barclays name and respect in the market is uncomparable.

Cons

Some of the negatives of a big bank exist. The bank has overall gone in the right track but the pain of the journey was avoidable and hence we need to suffer through the path of growth

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.
