Barclays reviews

The HR process there is a disaster. After receiving an offer, I had to call the recruiter multiple times over a 4 week period asking where the offer documents were. Onboarding is another disaster. I spent the first two weeks without an email address...which is bizarre to me. I spent the first one month without Microsoft Teams. I then spent 3 months begging almost 10-15 diff IT admins for access to datasets and software. There were a few people on the team I directly worked with that gave off the attitude of "stop asking questions, just go do what I tell you to do" which is pretty demoralizing for new hires.

Micromanagement is strong within the company culture since covid. No sense of direction within the company. People who were in managment roles pre covid are managing a system they have never worked in before. Such as inbound calls. No manager has taken completed a single day or even a weeks worth of inbound calling but are expected to manage the staff with 0 hands on experiance.
