      Pros

      Barclays differs on a team by team basis. Overall, the company has some cool perks such as free tickets to sporting games at random times, a cafateria, and a matching 401k.

      Cons

      Filled with consultants tons and tons of them. The company is a productivity nightmare. Engineering management is full of incompetent technically unsavy managers who run outsourced teams in Pune. Most software engineers are mediocre at best with bare minimum skills. Most employees are foreign on various Visas hired at lower than market rate.

      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.
