Barclays reviews

Many to mention but overall, poor onboarding experience, leadership team is very complacent and lack knowledge, team structure makes little to no sense so no opportunity to learn from seniors and be prepared to be micro-managed. It is very difficult to progress unless the team lead likes you rather than the work you put in. Any work you created is impossible to get over the line, there is so much red tape and limitations on what websites you can view. Development teams are all based in India, who 9 times out of 10 will say you can't do something just to lighten their load. Currently forced in for 2 days a week, Barclays monitor your every move from swiping in to sitting down at your desk, the offices are poorly designed and incentives to come in e.g. no tea or coffee provided. Redundancies are coming in thick and fast, management will tell you they want to be transparent but if anything muddy the waters even more. Overall working here has made me depressed and wouldn't advise it for anyone with the way it currently is.

This is the WORST company I have ever worked for. There is no upside- you will be expected to work in slave-like conditions and not be rewarded for it. The blame culture in the nyc office (200 Park) is prevalent- every meeting starts with "who did this, give me a name" so all the good people who really cared about getting it right are gone or pushed out. Even after the recent scandals in the Wealth division, and the new fake "values" being rolled out, NOTHING has changed. The same managers that were hired by all those fired are still there and running the business- unbelievable. Cronyism is rewarded, not merit. Rules and regulations are non-existent, and fraud is rampant.
