      Pros

      their salary is very good. the senior bankers are very collaborative and helpful. client exposure is great. and exit options are excellent if u are interested.

      Cons

      work hours are too much. competition for promotion is also a little too much. i personally stay very far from the workplace so that can be a problem at times.

      Pros

      BarCap is generally a meritocracy in that consistent effort and diligence will usually be recognised, if not financially. Internal mobility is good. You don't need to in crazy hours.

      Cons

      Linkage between effort and financial rewards is not always well managed. Senior management can be more focused on cost savings than revenue generation. People tend to leave to get a raise/promotion as internal processes don't keep pace with people's skills and positions.
