Pros

You work with brightest people in the industry. There are opportunities to enhance your skillset not just related to your work but in other fields as well. Barclays has prop seminars that would rate as top of the line. Compensation is decent.

Cons

Career growth is very limited. There is no transparency in the promotion or appraisal process. The work culture is changing to "top down". Bureaucracy is on the increase.

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.
