Barclays reviews

The company is in real trouble. Major parts being sold off, loosing money, is being fined for breaking laws every month It was a good place to work 3 or 4 years ago but not now Clearly they are making it crappy for people so they leave and saves the company the cost of firing them all No career opportunities People leave and no there are no replacements, so get ready to do 3 people's job The snr mgmt in NY will lie to you about whats going. Read the press to find out the truth (whats reported almost always ends up happening in the end) You get a really tough interview and then end up on a project editing xml files

In my ten years career, I have never worked with such a bunch of talentLESS, stupid people. Most of the people in Barclays have no expertise in their respective fields. Most people are unaware of the latest technologies, the latest best practices and are still stuck in the year 2000. Meeting after meetings about the most trivial thing, meetings to decide meetings, meetings to prepare power points, meeting to decide everything. In one of the meetings I was in, it took 26 members of the leadership team 1 hour to decide to add an additional column in an excel spreadsheet. (I am not joking) Most of my colleagues and managers are unfit for jobs outside of Barclays. Their skill sets are out dated and most of them are just plain stupid. No wonder some employees review Barclays as a "great place to work" and "fast paced".
