Pros

Barclays Capital provides challenging and rewarding work. Advancement or transfer to other positions is available. The Technology is current reviewed. Training is available but, with the work load, it's sometime difficult to take advantage of. Barclays Capital is careful in managing risks, so it does not pursue bleeding edge technology but does stay with the industry.

Cons

Barclays Capital is always letting people go - even when the economy was good. If you get caught in the cross-hairs, you're gone. Also, being a global firm, it's common place to be working unusual hours - any time in the 24 hour cycle.

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
