      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.

      Pros

      Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

      Cons

      Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
