      Barclays Capital - Good People, Bad Management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I worked in Production IT - BarCap has good systems, and competent people.

      Cons

      Teams are too lean, and as a result there is no bandwidth to deal with any sudden issues. People are tired and stressed. There is a complete lack of training/planning. BarCap also has a policy of normalisation, so when you get graded you might have gotten a B, but because of the Bell curve that gets marked down to a C. Middle Management has no idea who works for them; if you are involved in BAU work your invisible.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) Brand Name 2) Progressive product structures - great learning experience 3) Good international exposure in certain divisions (while working in the Singapore office)

      Cons

      1) Lack of capacity planning - leading to short-handed teams working unreasonable hours (within Middle Office and Operations) 2) Significant differences in the management and communication style across various divisions - leading to uneven company culture 3) Lack of a structured Graduate Program (as promised) as compared to various other banks such as Deutsche, HSBC or Standard Chartered Bank in Singapore.
