Pros

Pros from a fresher software developer's point of view at BTCI (Pune technology center India): 1. You'll get to learn a lot. 2. Opportunities to work for very critical and real-time projects that one cannot expect in other IT companies. 3. You can interact with some of the great minds in industry as it's a FLAT organisation. 4. One can get huge domain knowledge of BFSI sector if interested. 5. Satisfactory work life balance. 6. The `Barclays` brand obviously. 7. And they pay you well :)

Cons

Many times simpler processes turn into sluggish requests and approvals game which may slow down your actual work. But it's understandable as BTCI is a part of a huge organisation. P.S. I won't be able to comment on software testing or support profiles.
