Pros

I think the only pro of working for Barclays is the people and the brand recognition. I’d say about 70% of the people are amazing helpful and outstanding however is the rotten 30% that ruins the whole experience

Cons

Typical Barclays politics Continuously changing the goalpost Criminally underpaid for the level of work you do One of the worst IT systems I have ever worked with Senior leadership is absolutely toxic and does not deserve the ranks nor the reputation Numerous empty promises that I never for field Pay was messed up multiple times with zero accountability or was really rectified
