      Barclays reviews

      More bureaucracy than any other organization that I have worked for. - Vice President, IT Barclays Employee Review

      3.0
      Feb 24, 2011
      Vice president, it
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Great name to have on resume - Nice benefits package (although new employees and ex-Lehman are not offered pension) - Reasonable work/life balance - for an investment bank

      Cons

      - Compensation, bonuses - instead of a raise we are given "additional fixed payment", and that is considered bonus. It's complete double-talk. Either pay bonuses or give raises or both. But don't call a payment both a bonus and a raise.
