Pros

Barclays Capital provides challenging and rewarding work. Advancement or transfer to other positions is available. The Technology is current reviewed. Training is available but, with the work load, it's sometime difficult to take advantage of. Barclays Capital is careful in managing risks, so it does not pursue bleeding edge technology but does stay with the industry.

Cons

Barclays Capital is always letting people go - even when the economy was good. If you get caught in the cross-hairs, you're gone. Also, being a global firm, it's common place to be working unusual hours - any time in the 24 hour cycle.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
