      Decent place, but heading in the wrong direction - Assistant Vice President Barclays Employee Review

      Pros

      The biggest benefit is the friendly coworkers. It is also a very large global firm with good internal mobility and networking.

      Cons

      This past year Barlcays paid record bonuses, but not to finance. The pay in finance was very inconsistent and the bonuses were a joke. The promotions were also inconsistent and downright frustrating.

      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.
