Barclays reviews

It shows that they always opt for the cheapest option possible. It is easy to move up, but they don't compensate you for the extra work load you are taking on. Moves that at any other bank would be considered a promotion are called lateral moves here in order to avoid paying you what the work is worth.

- One of the most political environments that I've worked in. Hard work is punished/taken advantage of by other employees trying to get credit for doing nothing. - So much red tape to get anything accomplished. Most times filling out forms or getting approvals takes 2-3 times the amount of time it takes to do the actual work. - Wall Street bonuses are non-existent here. Over my tenure I never received a bonus or raise, ever. I got a lot of excuses why it was a down year for the company though. - Promotions are also non-existent here, even for lower level titles. The process was constantly changing/unclear and nobody seemed to understand how it worked. - Unclear company direction due to the multiple fines/lawsuits. - Multiple rounds of layoffs.
