      Not bad. Not great, but not bad.

      Pros

      I had a great direct manager, which made my tenure at Barclays very rewarding. There is plenty of interesting and rewarding word to do.

      Cons

      It is possible to get buried behind an incompetent manager from whom there is no escape but to leave.

      Nice place for retirement but limited career progression

      Pros

      Barclays is a plc with work life balance and excellent benefits in terms of dental and car park services. The overall package to start work in Barclays are attractive as well. They emphasize on retaining staff and provide courses.

      Cons

      In Asia, most of the work in Barclays are processing jobs and this has limited value add to individual. Even for work mobility, there is limited areas which you can go to. Unless you are in your retiring mood or you are a parent who focus on balanced lifestyle, this is not a place for career advancement nor add value to your employability.

      Work for Barclays Capital IT at your own peril.

      Pros

      The firm is very client focused and is not being run like a giant casino out to game the system. The senior management is very focused on keeping communication lines with employees open.

      Cons

      I am part of the IT Graduate Analyst program and my person experience has been awful - there are 3, 6-month rotations you have to complete - irrespective of the fact that you have Master's degree or not and then once you get a permanent placement, there is just no word on when you will get elevated to the next title. I have great finance, math and programming background and was hoping to look for a role that would require a good mix of these skills. Unfortunately, anyone with an IT background is considered a third-rate citizen of the bank. IT people have to fill in time-sheets which I think is a gross and uncomfortable experience.
