Pros

Barclays will likely offer you an opportunity if you are already working in finance and hoping to grow your client base or build connections to move elsewhere.

Cons

Barclays has an unhealthy, destructive culture with high turnover and poor management. Coworkers are constantly stressed and unhappy and feel significantly undervalued. Although Barclays is trying to move past recent negative headlines, its stated values are not effectively implemented, and miscommunication with and misvaluation of human capital continue to be extremely problematic at all levels.
